I’m wondering why there isn’t much talk in the media that’s focusing on one important issue in this next election.  This issue is the lack of confidence in these computerized voting systems.  In the 2000 and 2004 election there were enormous amounts of people turned away simply because these things either weren’t working or was taken away causing massive lines with citizens waiting 12+ hours to vote.

How important is voting?:

Should the American People declare election day a national holiday?  Many of us out there would love to have a day to vote to where voting is our only obligation for that day.  It sounds like a good idea and if we passed legislation then it could come to pass.

Is the electronic voting systems still an issue and will effect the 2008 election?:

The strait answer is YES, if you ask the folks who created these machines and were whistleblowers.  The main issue is that these machines don’t leave a paper trail.  So therefore we have to take the computers word for the final count.  With no physical proof that the vote was cast then it’s all just speculation and a big guess.
