A special cyber-security panel of the Joint Commission on Technology and Science has voted to move forward with crafting state legislation to enable many deployed military voters to cast their absentee ballots on-line.  The panel decided that the pilot program should focus on active-duty military personnel based outside of the continental U.S.–instead of also including spouses and other employees. And as Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan reports, some expressed concern about security challenges and ensuring the integrity of those ballots.
