“California citizens should be online - not in line.”
CA Secretary of State Bill Jones (Republican) in 2000
"In the 1990s CA SoS Bill Jones established The Internet Voting Task Force to study the prospects for Digital Democracy in this state. Based upon the only knowledge they had at that time – the 1990s."
"Since then, elections using Internet voting have been conducted securely over 100 times, around the world. Estonia now conducts elections online regularly. Switzerland has had more than 35 elections and votes on referenda via Internet voting. Norway provided for online voting for its second time in 2013. Over 40 cities in Canada continue to have voting online. West Virginia provided online voting for its overseas military voters in 2010."
Security specialist for Estonia’s National Election Commission says that their system is “more secure than Internet banking.”
"Lovers of Democracy Unite! First we need a law from Sacramento permitting each county to try Internet voting as a supplement to its regular process. Then, demand your election officials do it!"

ENDORSEMENT - by Dr. Kelleher
I’m voting for Jeff Drobman in the June 3d Primary, and here’s why:
Jeff is the only candidate with vision and courage.
Drobman understands the online voting security issues. He knows that it’s been done over 100 times around the world without security breaches, and he knows that it can be done in California, too.
Drobman is the only candidate to show that he has the guts to get out in front of a needed voting reform and lead. In SOS Candidate Forums, Jeff pulls out his cell phone and challenges the other candidates to say why Californians can’t vote on this. Needless to say, they are all too busy texting or checking the shine on their shoes to answer.
