A great election draws great reviews

Recently, we conducted history's first legally binding vote cast over the Internet in a U.S. political election. People from all walks of life cast their votes online in Arizona's statewide democratic presidential primary.

When the voting stopped, nearly 40,000 people had voted online, which helped drive a 600 percent increase in turnout over the last primary.

But it was not the first election we've run. Here's what others have said about election.com:
