This would certainly be an easier and more convenient way to vote if it ever happened. However, on the other hand there would be a possibility of computer hackers affecting the outcome of the election. Some might even say if your too lazy to get out of the house to vote than you shouldn't vote at all. At the same time their may be people who are disabled and physically can't get out but than again they could mail their vote in. For me personally I wouldn't support votes to be cast for Political Elections online. There's just too much at stake to have Hackers possibly influence the outcome.

Voting should change with the times, I think. It seems primitive to require people to wait in lines to vote in person on a particular day (some states like mine only allow a select few people to vote absentee), and fraud is still a possibility with old-fashioned voting. It needs to be done securely and so it shouldn't be rushed into, but I think we'll have online voting eventually.

Online voting is easier but risky. We all know the capabilities of the hackers can make. And we should also consider the voters as well.

hello,
If there is an online voting I might give a vote, it depends on the person..
If he/she is the best according to me, I might support by voting..
But if not, I wouldn't..
This is the very best way, so peaople dont have to come to make a vote.
