Report Finds Risks in Internet Voting by Americans Overseas

"A $22 million system to allow soldiers and other Americans overseas to vote via the Internet is inherently insecure and should be abandoned, according to a report by computer security experts asked to review the new program.

The system, the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment, or Serve, was developed with financing from the Defense Department and will first be used in the primaries this year."

I'd been reading the hype on this new system and it sounded typically "dot-com"ish: convenient, revolutionary, but not sound. Thanks to the NY Times to point this out -- I'm going to prefer a written ballot.
