Dear Gambia-L members!

I remember some of your posting on the idea of eVoting of Gambians
worldwide.
Today I came accros an article on eDemocracy which I post here for those who
might be interested.
In Arizona eVoting has thus been tested for the first time. This means:

It is possible!

But is it feasable? There is still one more year to go. Maybe Gambia-L can
initiate such a project which
certainly needs to mobilize IT-experts, volunteers, financial support,
official support and......

Greetings
Angelika
