Progress comes at the ballot box - and nothing changes the ballot box more than drastic changes in national demography.
...
Democracy Works, a New York 501C3 is perhaps the epitome of this trend: its first product, TurboVote, focuses directly on the voter and removes barriers to their actual participation in elections by using software to automate sending a filled out envelope with completed voting forms and text messaging for reminders to ensure voters complete needed tasks at the deadline, and Ballot Scout, their second, is software that local election officials integrate into their systems to better track mailed in ballots.
...
Long Distance Voter focuses specifically on getting lower income and minority voters to register to vote and then submit ballots by mail, which is often far easier logistically and increases turnout. The non-profit has become a notable expert on long-distance voting in the US and its impact on the actual turnout among less well represented groups in elections.
"We live in a digital world, in which many -- if not most -- of our daily activities are made easier because of technology. Our current voting processes are paper based, difficult, and anachronistic, leading to lower voter turnout. As we use modern technology to make voting easier, more Americans will vote," said Debra Cleaver of Long Distance Voter.
...
Voting is at the essence of democracy because, at its core, progressive democracy is supposed to be about representing every citizen, and reflecting the needs of the collective national populace. Technology is now changing voter habits and restoring demography's relationship with increased minority representation and corresponding political change and there are few areas where it can make a greater impact on the world.

Remember this in October.
Ne electricity, no elections, emergency rule.
Voter fraud getting sophisticated.
Trump will need landslide to overcome “adjustments” by RATs.
Travis...do really think we’re going to be nailed with an EMP/terrorist event right before election day? I ask not in criticism or derision, but for clarification.
We hear daily about identity fraud from online hacking and Americans are willing to trust elections to this??
Or, those fat, greasy, pimply LIBERAL geeks that program electronic voting machines - for the dems.
I don’t assign probabilities to the modalities. I look at our national grid like a gunpowder factory with a dozen fuses burning toward it. Which one reaches it first? We may never know.
WW3 won’t be missiles or bombers, it will be attacks on national grids. Unlike MAD, (missiles have knowable origins), cyber attacks against grids can be disguised, so such attacks are much more likely to happen. And I think WW3 will break out in 2016, igniting in either Europe (Tet, Take Two) or between Iran and Saudi Arabia. I think Obama wants it to start on his watch, so that as POTUS and CIC, he can inflict the maximum damage upon the USA.
Yes, the trigger for grid down could be a missile launching an EMP device, or the sun could just belch out a massive ejecta, but far more likely it will be a cyber attack and/or a direct kinetic attack against substations by the hundreds of the Iranian sleeper-cell commandos already inside the USA (aka “foreign exchange students”).
The Santa Barbara substation attack was, IMHO, a “proof of concept” test by some nation’s (most likely Iran) head of their embedded sleeper commando program, proving to his bosses that they can take down our grid with no more than rifles. If they can do one Santa Barbara attack, they can do 50, and take down our grid.
Once our grid is down, our cities will explode on their own. And if the grid goes down, we will probably never learn what really caused it. We’ll just be dealing in rumors, since there will be no national news coming out, other than some FEMA propaganda on battery-powered radios.
How bad can it get? This bad.

could someone point to the page in the Constitution where this was taken from?
some politician in the future: “We need to provide free computers or smartphones and fiber internet access to everyone. These are needed to vote and we cannot leave anyone out.”
Believe me...I’ve read the story. Several times. It never fails to depress the Hell out of me. (Not your fault.) I get the feling that if things go the way you (and others) think it will go, we don’t stand a chance, and we will fall into a dark age that will last decades...if not forever.
When the article mentions citizens voting,I hope this means they are referring to only American citizens & also that said citizens are living & voting only once. I can’t say I really trust what they are trying to do here.
That "knowable origin" is useless if it's a barge 100 miles offshore, scuttled five minutes after the launch.
