A Better Way to Vote?

A Better Way to Vote

For some reason, I always have trouble with "Voting should be a two day event on the weekend where everybody gets the days off." Sounds good, yet I always have to ask when was the last time they pulled their head out of their ass?

Or why a Republican lawyer would make a case for bi-partisanship and then spout Republican ideas?

All elections should be run by professionals... let's think about this. How often do we have elections? How much are we going to pay professionals for a job that's performed twice every two years on average?

More better machines? I'm going to guess these guys have never tried to help an elderly couple that can't read or understand English vote. Saying everybody's got to understand English is a nice statement quite similar to saying "It can't rain on my picnic day."

Businesses are NOT fit to run government.

I can think of a whole long rant on this, but somehow I bet I'd be preaching to the choir.

It's kind of like dealing with time, everybody thinks it's easy-peasy, and it's not.
