A Jersey lawmaker is pushing a plan to create a pilot program - that would let active duty members of the military serving overseas vote in local elections - using the internet.

Assemblyman Paul Moriarty says "we should make it easier for the people who fight for our freedoms to exercise their freedom to vote, and that's what this bill would do."

He says "we think that the technology exists for this type of a pilot program - to make it available for people serving overseas…if we can figure out how to create all kinds of retail transactions - and let people spend millions of dollars through the internet, we should be able to come up with a way for our fighting men and women overseas to cast their votes and do it securely."

Moriarty adds this kind of a program could eventually open the door to internet voting - for all Jersey residents."

Senator Donald Norcross released this statement in response to the DRPA’s announced reform agenda this morning:

"We must acknowledge that what is going on at the DRPA is just part of a culture of fraud and abuse across the state.

The Government Reality Check Act is the first real step required to reform this culture, which has allowed perks and privileges supported on the back of taxpayers. Only by bringing consistency, transparency, and accountability to all of New Jersey’s many authorities, commissions, local and state offices can we truly hope to prevent and erase the practices that put private interests above the public good.

We cannot defeat this problem piecemeal. We need to confront it head on -- at every level of government across the entire state. The Government Reality Check Act achieves this goal.

Join me in making a real difference for all New Jersey taxpayers by supporting the Government Reality Check Act."
