Short Answer: Read the story on B1 "Pilot program lets Texas soldiers vote by email"

If this pilot program continues to have the same success it has in the past, it could pave the way for everyone to vote via email. Do you think Americans in 2015 should be voting by email? Do you think there are problems that could arise if people were allowed to vote by email? Are there solutions to those problems? Do you think you might be able to vote via email or online in your lifetime?
I think that voting via email could cause a lot of problems because people could change their email addresses or cast multiple votes with different accounts. There aren't really any solutions to these problems other than the normal way of voting, something may arise in the future where it might be necessary to vote through email an it would be a lot simpler and you can do it from home. It might be able to vote by email in my future and it could help a lot of people who maybe aren't able to get up and go vote.
