Online voting is fundamentally insecure due to the architecture of the
Internet, according to leading cyber-security experts.
Using a voting system based upon the Internet poses a "serious and
unacceptable risk" for election fraud and is not secure enough for something
as serious as the election of government officials, according to the four
members of the Security Peer Review Group, an advisory group formed by the US
Department of Defense to evaluate a new on-line voting system.
