Resumen
In this article, the authors discuss the debate on Internet voting as a way to ensure free and fair elections or an electronic invitation for ballot fraud and unequal representation. Proponents of Internet voting in public elections point to convenience, long-term cost savings, 24-hour availability over several days, freeing voters from automobile traffic, weather and postal service issues, blind and disabled people to vote without assistance. They predict Internet voting will increase voter turnout and re-energize the electorate. Whether it would boost or inhibit voter turnout and raise concerns about the security and privacy of online voting, as well as its potential to disadvantage those without computers at home is questioned. Voters may be coerced by family members, employers, or others who may observe a ballot being cast or even assist the voter. In order to sort out the contending arguments and likely outcomes concerning these issues, a detailed look at the Arizona Democratic primary from representatives of election.com, the company hired by the Party to run the election is provided.
