The Way America Votes Needs to Change ........A Non-Political, Political View ....

Hello folks,

Being as today is Election Day and it appears to be record turn out, I believe it is time that the United States changes the way we hold elections.

In today's technological age, it is time that the United States starts allowing people to vote from their home computer. Currently we can conduct our Banking from a computer, order stocks and other investments, buy merchandise, conduct business around the world BUT we can not vote.

Voting by computer would save thousands of man hours, eliminate lines, cut down on voter fraud and make the process Soooo much easier. Another benefit would also be an increase percentage of the number of people who vote. We can always allow for the old fashion polling places for those who do not want to use a computer, but just think of the savings and advantages.

People could verify who they are by either using their Social Security Number, Driver's License Number, OR we could be assigned a specific number which would be on the Voter Registration Card, which are no longer used anyway. The time frame to vote could last 5 or 7 days to give everyone ample time to place their vote. There would be no more need for "absentee" ballots since you could vote from anywhere in the world and our military personel would be able to vote ON TIME and not have to be counted after-the-fact.

The federal government should regulate HOW voting is to take place so that everyone is on the same page. I think this "may" be one thing that can be accomplished by the government without many errors ....... but you never know.

Or at least make that one of the options for voting. Here in San Diego, and I suspect in many areas of the country (South Texas, for example), there are many, many people who still don't have computers in their homes. So you'd still have to make voting available on computers at libraries, absentee ballots, regular stand-in-line polling, and, of course, for me, "pemanent mail voter." However, in the interest of our country, maybe all the companies could let all their employees vote from the company computers.

Uh Russell, have you been to Texas seen 1950? Where the heck did that comment come from! Even my poorest relatives have computers in their homes.

Someone told me the other day they were in Houston back in the 80s and blah blah blah. Uh, HELLLLLOOOOO, my town barely existed back then and now it takes me 30 minutes to travel 10 miles because of all of the traffic some days. It will be very interesting to see the 2010 census results to see the population explosion in the last 20 years on paper.

I don't know one single person here in South Texas that doesn't own a computer. Not one. Oh and in case you were wondering....weens got pick-em-up trucks last week so we could put the horse and buggies away now. I'm the only one in town that owns one and boy howdy am I poplar. :(

Sean, I agree with you wholeheartedly
