NJ Lt. Governor invites voters to submit invalid email ballots

"We see already one problem: The loss of the secret ballot. At many
times in the 20th century, NJ political machines put such intense
pressure on voters that the secret ballot was an important protection.
In 2012 it's in the news that some corporations are pressuring their
employees to vote in certain ways. The secret ballot is still
critical to the functioning of democracy. But there's a much bigger
problem with the Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno's directive: If voters and
county clerks follow her instructions, their votes will be invalid."

Even worse, the loony "Oh yeah, it's safe to vote by Internet!"
contingent is sure to be fired up by all this.
