Washington Republicans to try online voting

Some Washington Republicans soon will use Internet ballots to vote for delegates

to the King County and Washington state Republican conventions.

The move marks another small victory for concept of online voting. Earlier

this month, Arizona Democrats became the first to hold a valid online election

for their state presidential primary.

Republicans in King County will vote electronically April 8 for state delegates.

And all Republican state delegates will vote electronically June 16 for

national delegates. Delegates will use computers available at the convention

to cast votes.

Mike Majestic, co-founder of iPolitics.com, which will host the voting,

said online voting will make reporting the results easier.
