Is this why military not getting ballots?

By Aaron Klein WND Oct 10 2012During one of the most hotly contested elections in recent U.S. history, the number of military absentee ballot requests is strangely down by staggering numbers compared to the 2008 election.

The information comes as WND confirmed today that SCYTL, an international firm headquartered in Spain, has been contracted by seven states to provide secure online ballot delivery for overseas military and civilian voters for the upcoming presidential election.

Michelle M. Shafer, SCYTL’s director of communications and government affairs, told WND that her company has been contracted by New York, Arkansas, Alabama, West Virginia, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Mississippi to provide the overseas ballots.

Update: Washington State Internet Voting Bill Defeated

by johnbonifaz | Feb 18 2009

House Bill 1624 authorizing the Washington Secretary of State, Sam Reed, to begin a pilot internet voting program has died in the House because of the significant financial impact the program would have on counties and individual taxpayers that was not reflected in the original fiscal note. House Committee members became aware of the actual price tag of the program after local voting integrity activists sent documentation on the real costs of internet voting programs in other states. Thanks to John Gideon and Ellen Theisen of Voters Unite for their hard work in creating awareness and taking action on HB 1624. Voter Action will continue to monitor and advocate against internet voting legislation being proposed across the country.

This issue arose during the 2008 election when the U.S. Department of Justice sued Virginia, contending that the state mailed its overseas ballots too late for service members to receive and return them in time to be counted.
