“...local elections officials have the ability to examine the application and determine if they're valid or not.”

Saying local election officiela have the 'ability' to examine applications is one thing-whether or not they would do their jobs in an unbiased way is another thing. Who ever said they could be trusted?

They can't even run clean hard-copy ballot elections.

The Bush-Gore fiasco in Florida exposed all the entrenched and compromised voting officials...just in case anyone out there STILL thought of them as being irreproachable. THEY ARE NOT.... and THAT'S how “O” got himself elected.

So if you don't want elections officials to run elections, who do you want? Highway officials? Baristas?
