Since Karen and I both live outside the USA, but are eligible to vote and last voted in New Mexico, we started the process of voting by absentee ballot. I was pleasantly surprised to find that we could send our signed, scanned request forms to the county clerk (we last lived in San Miguel county) by email, and that we could receive our absentee ballots, along with Affidavits of Eligibility forms, by email as well. I am in absolute agreement with this as a policy. I was, however, very surprised that the email, as well as the affidavit, states that we can return both the signed and scanned affidavit, and the filled and scanned ballot itself by email or fax. While I personally have no problem with people knowing who I voted for, I'm sure that many people do. Such a wide open system seems rife for potential abuse.
