WASHINGTON - The Pentagon won't use an Internet voting system for overseas U.S. citizens this fall because of concerns about its security, an official said Thursday.

The official, who requested anonymity, said Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz made the decision to scrap the system because Pentagon officials were not certain they could "assure the legitimacy of votes that would be cast."

2. This must mean that they know they can't cheat.

It's easier for them to cheat using paper ballots, anyway (remember 2000?).

3. Great News!

Integrity in the system needs to be put back into the system!
