The emails are held private by DOD, and the military's right to vote is
more important than worrying about a democrat trying to steal their
SSN.
People who don't have to prove they are citizens to vote and don't have to
show a voter photo ID to vote don't have to worry about having their
identity stolen. Many have likely stolen the identity of a real
dead or alive voter already.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A New Jersey
congressman raised questions
Thursday
about a new military voting program that lets service members request and
submit their ballots by fax or e-mail.
Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said the Defense Department has set up a
secure absentee voter program that will allow military members to request
and receive absentee ballots. The new program, she said, lets people vote
without relying on the regular mail system.
As part of the program, many states allow military members deployed
overseas to return their completed ballot via fax or the Internet. Those
ballots, Smith said, will not pass through the hands of any government
officials until they are received by a local election authority.
The congressman says he's worried that making it easy for military overseas
and in Iraq to vote via Internet absentee ballots might cause them to be
subject to identity theft. YEAH RIGHT. He also said they
should get a flu shot when voting in the DOD's Internet voting for military.
