Voting System

* It’s time to not only look at dumping the electoral college, but at creating a uniform voting system that can be used nationally. It’s apparent that punch cards are too confusing for many people.

One simple safeguard we ought to incorporate is photo ID. Except for absentee ballots, everyone casting a vote should bring a photo ID with them to validate who they say they are. To just stand there and say you are so and so, sign your name and get a ballot invites fraud.

The whole thing screams for reform, and we need to do it by 2004!
