The entire voting system needs to be completely revamped and brought up to date!
Amen! We need Election Day to be a holiday, enough voting machines at every polling place, verifiable software running the machines, a paper trail with each voter getting a paper copy of their ballot, and early voting nationwide. That should be good for starters.
I agree, too! But add that, as crucial as the presidential elections are, the non-pres elections are just as important for state and local areas and do impact the people in those areas.
And a big thanks to all the rest of you who got out there and voted!
Hurray for democracy and freedom at work!
(Did you guys see the push for everyone to wear purple today as a sign of unity in our country, regardless of who you voted for? Great idea!!)
