E-voting and comments on last election
First things first...e-voting is just a crazy and dumb idea....from any angle you look at it.

1) How hard is it (both mentally and physically) to get to a polling location walk into a both and either press a button or press down on a punch card? My 3 year old niece could preform these tasks without much fuss.

2) I'm all for technology, but some things just shouldn't be made to Interface with the Internet --- EVER! Voting is one of those things. There is no such thing is 100% secure, unhackable systems. Do the e-voting and it WILL be a fiasco, someone will hack it you can bet your life on it -- and sway the vote to their will.

Secondly, about this whole hanging chad -- Bush got elected by accident BS....GET THE HELL OVER IT ALREADY its coming up to the next election for crying out loud.

Also, are public stupid? Our votes as private citizens does not determine who truly gets elected anyways. The electoral college does.

Bush won, because the electoral college elected him.

PS. I can't stand Bush OR Kerry.
