The National Science Foundation will bring together legal scholars, technical specialists and experts on the democratic process to consider whether cybervoting might increase turnout without creating problems with fraud and privacy.
President Clinton signed two executive memorandums on Friday on
developing Web resources, and Gore was set to unveil them in New Hampshire, where he will participate in a debate with his rival for the Democratic nomination, Bill Bradley.
