New Jersey Allows Citizens To Vote By Email

A FIRST: State To Let Citizens Vote By Email
FILE - This Oct. 30, 2012 file photo shows people voting early at the Salt Lake County Government Building in Salt Lake City, ahead of the Nov. 6 election. Theres always grousing about people who dont bother to vote. But look at it another way: An estimated 133 million Americans will cast ballots in Tuesdays election. Thats about 6 in 10 eligible adults. Some will persevere despite long lines, pressing personal burdens or the devastation left by Superstorm Sandy. Why do they do it? Its not because any one voter will decide the contest between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Depending on which state they live in, the odds of casting a deciding vote for president are somewhere between 1 in a million and essentially zero. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)
