What are your thoughts about online voting? Given last night's discussion, this may alleviate some of the issues with crowded polls. Do you think this is a privacy issue?
Interesting question. On the one hand, it could lessen the lines. But it would also give an advantage to the relatively well off. I think making election day a national holiday would be a huge step forward. I also think early voting is good. And why do we need an "excuse" to vote absentee?
I'm not a big fan of online voting, early voting, or even absentee voting. But I still think we should make voting as easy as possible. While I've voted absentee before I didn't care much for it. As for early voting, well, let's go ahead and open the polls at a bunch of times that a lot of people won't be able to get to them easily either.
I think it is important for people to go to the polls. Of course given my wish to heavily influence outcomes it makes sense that I'd like a defined end date.
The national holiday is one that I'm a big fan of.
