Idea Overseas Voter Registration Website

In order to help Americans living overseas to get around the Pentagon's block of the FVAP site, the Voter Verified Foundation has launched a proxy site here. Will Doherty, the executive director of Verified Voting, said he hoped that the proxy would pressure the Pentagon into dropping its access ban.

The International Herald Tribune reported on September 20th that "the Pentagon has begun restricting international access to the official Web site intended to help overseas absentee voters cast ballots." Pentagon spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Ellen Krenke confirmed that a number of Internet service providers worldwide had been blacklisted "to thwart hackers." Such measures are generally recognized to be ineffective against hackers while blocking legitimate users.

Apparently, the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) website is now blocked to civilians overseas trying to find out how to obtain absentee ballots in at least 25 countries--including Japan, France, Great Britain, and Spain--although military personnel overseas have other mechanisms for requesting absentee ballots.
