This whole thing just disgusts me... First, if it isn't a problem with people that just HAVE to conform...... i.e. (he's not gonna win anyway, so I'll just vote for the lesser of 2 evils....or, as I like to refer to them, people without the balls or brains to have an opinion) than it's the electoral college making sure that our votes don't matter anyway. And right now you have all these people moning and griping about them having to hand count the ballots, going on individual votes......Yeah, like that is a bad thing....heaven forbid your vote actually count for once, sorry it takes so long to count, but that is the price you pay for freedom of choice, you impatient, ungrateful scum..... And then we have the ballots themselves..... my voting station had 3 different color ballots, and the color I used has YET to be seen on national T.V. (Green Ballot) Kinda odd, don'cha think? Federal election = differing ballots nationwide.... As far as going tech goes though... have a touch-screen monitor on a netboot with a list of the candidates, and if you haven't heard of the person, than you can just click directly on him/her and get a detailed description of their stance on the issues..... each time a vote is cast, a 1byte packet is sent to a log file for the respective candidate on the voting location's server. these servers should NOT be networked. the log file size should be called in and confirmed by a proofing-group, a representative from each party that is running for presidency. then the nationwide totals are added up, and a winner is declared... either that, or segregate the votes.... Harry Browne votes here. Al Gore votes here. Bush votes here... sure people will be giving away who they vote for, but is that such a bad thing? I am sure as He|| proud to say that I voted for Harry Browne... Because I am actually proud of my candidate....
