The always forward thinking UK Office of Science and Innovation is predicting that Robots could one day demand the same citizen's rights that humans enjoy. If this happened, the report says, the robots would have certain responsibilities such as voting, the obligation to pay taxes, and perhaps serving compulsory military service.

As if we didn't already have enough trouble with election fraud. An army of semi-autonomous robots could be instructed to vote a given way by a bored script kiddie. No matter how good election security is, you couldn't secure the free will of a population of interlinked AIs.
