I think it's a good idea for primary elections, but a very bad idea for general elections.

My idea for primary voting would be that if someone goes to the polls and casts a ballot, it overrides any other vote.

They'd also have your address, since you're part of the party. They could send you a notice saying they've received your internet vote.

I agree that it's a terrible idea for general elections, though

Off topic, but I'm for electronic voting in general elections with a verifiable paper receipt.

The computer would be much more accurate, and the paper record would just be to prevent any fraud.

Which is why we need a verifiable paper receipt. But electronic voting is still a good idea.
