Vote by Internet

 

The election showed, quite clearly, that we need a better way to vote. The most efficient method would be voting by Internet. Software similar to what banks use and a personal identification number would assure the system’s security. Most people now have Internet connections either at home or at work, and it’s available at public libraries, too.

Voting by computer would be so much quicker that it could be done before or after working hours or during breaks. Those without computer skills could use absentee ballots with a deadline for mailing that is far enough in advance of voting day so that they could all be counted before the close of voting.

    Adding beds won’t solve homeless problem

  • Obama no war monger

    There are, of course, many reasons to be grateful that President Obama defeated Sen. John McCain in 2008. But perhaps Syria is the biggest reason.

  • Team’s conduct unbecoming

    Shame on the Miami Heat players, team management and the NBA for the deportment of the Heat players during the playing of the National Anthem before Game 4. Their disrespect was reprehensible and warrants immediate action by the league office. Not one of them rendered appropriate honor to our nation. They looked like a bunch of thugs.
