It is far from universal for our overseas military, but surely a step in the right direction. Florida had 3 counties in 2000- a pilot program to work out the bugs, and it worked extremely well- but was horrifically expensive per vote cast. There will be 6 counties in 2004- including Dade.

DoD installs the secure data transmission line in the county supervisor's office, and writes the security guidelines for them to follow. They provide all the hardware, too. The folks in civilized places overseas, like Germany, Italy and UK (and their dependents) can use it without problem- but it's iffy for the combat troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. Maybe they've worked out the bugs- it had to do with on site computer security overseas, as I recall. The Air Force and Navy personnel have the best shot among the combat folks.
I have spoken to so many outraged active duty people whose Florida votes were discarded because of Gore's challenges- we HAVE to be sure that never happens again. This is sure to help.

Amen. Thanks for the info, GG.
