An interesting poll recently completed by Samsung Mobile revealed that 61%, or about six out of every ten, mobile phone users polled would vote in presidential elections via SMS. These people polled were over 18 and eligible to vote. 500 people of this age were polled. While the chances of such a system ever being put in place are slim to none because of the security and reliability issues, it is a very interesting result.

When people younger than the voting age, 13-17, were polled, the figured increased even further. A whopping 80%, or eight out of ten, people of this age said they would vote in a presidential election via SMS. 300 people of this age were polled.

Even more interesting, is the support for this crosses all party lines. With independents, Democrats, and Republicans alike saying that they would vote in this manner. Everyone likes a good statistic though, so please tell, would you vote via an SMS message for the president?
