From the Paper:

"Even though polls are open from about 6am-7pm on voting day, citizens get so wrapped up in everyday hassle that voting might slip their mind. Internet voting would just be a lot more convenient. There has been two different methods offered up in implementing internet voting. Of the two methods to Internet vote, I do believe that one provides more security than the other. It would be good to go to the polls to vote, just like regular, show ID and cast the vote via the Internet. Being able to vote from remote areas should take a while longer because voting should be 100% secure. It is essential that the government has already looked to trial runs. In order for Internet voting to become official it is critical that the government establish a method of security. In order for this to occur an extreme amount of time and research needs to happen. This is something that the government can continue to run trial and error with until there are successful methods. The test need to be continuous. Douglas W. Jones list the following testing routine to provide a heightened level of security."
