Technology for the equation

Security will be of the utmost importance for Internet based voting.  IBM in Zurich has recently invented a small USB device, that when inserted into a computer, allows a secure channel for transactions, even if the computer is infected with “malware”.

It is proposed that each voter who wishes to participate in Internet Voting, will be issued such a device as well as a highly secure password and Secure Socket Layer, the leading security protocol.

Also, for voters who cannot afford a computer, an application process will exist which, if qualified based on their income, will be provided a low cost notebook computer at no cost.  These are currently available for $200.00

Let's get the ball rolling!

Currently this project is an idea. But I do plan to bring it to fruition. Considering what I am proposing, there will be alot of opposition to any movement to make this happen. How can this be countered? I can only think of one thing short of violence (which I'm totally against) and that's lots of money.

To start, I'm going to investigate founding a non-profit organization for this initiative, I'll use my own funds if need be, but if you can donate, that would be great.

The second point of leverage I can think of is tapping into the Information Technology community - meaning - programmers, IT managers, technicians etc. These people will instinctively realize that what I'm proposing makes complete sense, and is very easily achievable with modern technology and proper management.

So, until I get the organization formed, I invite you to post your comments and leave your contact information for future reference.

I think this idea of allowing citizens to run the government by voting on issues via their computers is the only viable solution to the current ills we are all so familiar with, with our existing system of governance.
