Today, the election experts have lost much of that enthusiasm -� but that hasn't stopped the vendors from their feverish proselytizing. Until last Monday, the only serious players in this game were Election.com -- which smiled into the camera in March when it essentially ran the Arizona Democratic Primary, and VoteHere.net, which ran Alaska's Republican straw poll in January. Then the Reform Party announced last week that it was going to do the online voting thing for its presidential convention with Seattle- based eBallot.net, a largely unknown company originally founded as "VirtuVote" in 1998. Suddenly, getting out the e-vote is a hot topic again. ------------------------------------------- The article continues at .... http://wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,37050,00.html Cheers, tgw ^ ^ ^ ^ Steven L.
