Virtual Voting Poll Finds Most Oppose Online Ballots

By Gary Langer

July 21 — With cybershopping such a hit, how about virtual voting?
Most Americans cast their ballot in the negative: Fifty-two percent say they’d oppose a system that would allow voting over the Internet, even if it could be made secure from fraud. And seven in 10 think that level of security is many years off.

Young Support Online Votes
But online balloting may find an audience yet. Support for the idea increases dramatically among younger adults, who know cyberspace best. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, 61 percent support secure Internet voting. Among their grandparents, only 19 percent agree.
