Seriously, we should have a day (or even two) off to vote and get it all done right. The way it is now just stifles people who have to work

We should make it mandatory like Australia. If you don't vote you pay a small fine (x < $100). Also, weekend voting.

VOting is a ploy.

I love her! so much. but I also like the idea of online / smartphone voting - I've heard the comparison that if banking is secure enough to do online than why not voting

Australia is on it, hopefully it gets traction in the US https://voteflux.org

Stupid idea. We should vote like Austria. Maybe you're also into giving your genomes to facebook?
