Say whatever you want, if there ever was an age when our voting system made sense, a whole lot of water has gone over the dam since then.

There's actually a better way.

The better way would involve biometrics and P2P technology. A normal person could keep his info and vote preferences on his OWN computer and idiots could keep theirs on some trusted system at a public facility of some sort, possibly a libhrary. A call to tally would work the same way as a request for "You Ain't Nothin But a Hound-Dog" on Kazaa or Bittorrent and, funny thing, ANYBODY could do such a tally and all such tallies should match.

A person would have to produce a valid finger to vote but that sort of device is a $100 add on with government laptops and we could afford it.
