Questions About the Privacy of Military Voters
The California Supreme Court has concerns about the privacy of military ballots that may be cast by fax for the November 2, 2004 election. However, the court has decided to delay considering the matter until after the election, because it is too late to devise a method for interim relief for these military voters. As the rules apply, military voters are required to sign a waiver giving up their right to a secret ballot if they want to vote by fax.
