KEN MCDONALD, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA: Hello, my name is Ken McDonald. I am from Savannah, Georgia. And my question is: In the future, will we be able to vote via the Internet?</s>ALLISON TOM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It really depends on who you ask. A number of skeptics say it's never going happen. That's because they say voters will not be confident or comfortable in casting their vote over the Internet, and they won't be assured necessarily that their vote is actually going to be cast or get to the final destination it needs to be at. But a number of legal and Internet experts say it will happen some day. There are a number of things that need to be worked out. And a lot of people agree on those same issues. Those are security and privacy, very, very sensitive information that you want to make sure is going to be in place before we actually vote over the Internet. There is also the issue about how expensive this is going to be. It may be very costly. And not all precincts or voting places can actually do this. And whether or not we vote from the comfort of our own home, that's going to take awhile to really iron out the kinks to make sure that people are confident that their vote is going to be cast. And lastly, the digital divide: This is the issue about those who have computer and Internet access and those that do not. It's important that everybody has access to it so it's a fair and an accurate, as well as an equal type of option that people have to cast their vote. So a lot of people say maybe in the next decade we will see Internet voting. But a lot of people agree there are many, many things to get worked out.
