Not to disagree with you Pat. Yes people need to get out and Vote. If you are of age and have the ability to get to the polls, no matter who or what you are going to vote for please vote.
With that said there are serious issues with the way voting is conducted in the US. Canada, western Europe and most of the 1st world democratic nations do a much better job than we do.
Most of them use a simple ballot and a number 2 pencil. They have the election results within hours of the polls closing. Voting machines have already proven to be flawed. They should be sent back and the money should be refunded to the government for them, until they work 100% correctly.
Election day needs to move to the weekend or today needs to be made a national holiday. You want to encourage people to vote, give them the fucking day off, or move the voting day to a day that we already do not work.
These are just a few simple solutions to the American voting process that I would love to see change. Maybe Obama will push for these types of things when he is President.
