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.
