Steve Grossman on Technology

Former Chair of DNC; Democratic Challenger MA Governor

Supports Internet voting, to encourage youth participation

The relentless push to find ways in which technology can serve consumers can benefit voters as well. Tens of millions of Americans surf the Internet regularly, and the number of personal computers capable of Internet access is growing worldwide from nearly 60 million in 1996 to an estimated 256 million in 2000. If we want to encourage consistent voting from an early age, our product must be accessible where young Americans gather: the Internet. Improvement in on-line security make Internet voting a real possibility today.

Effective solutions must be consumer-based and designed with the same innovative zeal displayed by the creators of such relatively mundane conveniences as the frozen dinner, on-line banking, and voice-mail products with hundreds of millions of satisfied customers.
