Arizona: scan and email ballots allowed today
AP reports: Starting Thursday, voters who are registered in Arizona but live overseas will be able to vote online through a unique Web-based system.
The Secretary of State's Military and Overseas Voting system will allow registered voters to apply for early ballots online and then submit their ballots electronically using a document scanner. Previously, Arizona elections officials allowed them to vote by faxing their ballots. ...
The system is expected to aid thousands of overseas voters for the general election. During the previous presidential election in 2004, military and overseas voters cast 7,594 ballots. ...
The Secretary of State's office developed the system itself and gained approval from the U.S. Department of Justice last week. Officials included a 128-bit encryption technology with the online ballots, giving each vote the kind of security that's used in online banking and credit card transactions. -- Arizona develops online ballots to give voters overseas a chance to cast ballots via the Web -- chicagotribune.com
