I had no trouble registering (legitimately) in the US from here in Australia via the net. In Australia they actually go door to door and check the roll. Given the negative implications of the report's second paragraph stating that this is the first announcement of this kind I am suspicious that irregularities are going to be used to try delegitimize this election. Fairness demands mention that irregularities in the constitutional vote were extensively investigated. The election authorities have been working on this issue all along and it is not a newly discovered problem as the article implies. I wouldn't panic any time soon.
