    so 30 states already have early voting...walk-up early voting. that's where your reform should be...do what you can to get the other 20 up to speed. that's far more convenient than having one day as a holiday.

    More convenient? Depends on what you are trying to convenience. Like voting or an extended, long weekend getaways. :)

    Like previously stated. Online voting rules!

    We could setup a link from the clutch site.;)

    Considering how much controversy there is over even NBA All Star online voting I don't think we're ready for online voting.

    There's too many security and recount issues out there before I feel secure about voting for my political leaders online.

    I do my banking online, so I believe it is secure if you do it right.

    i'm thinking presidential ballots in the United States of America might be a bigger target than your personal checking account. just a guess! :)

    if Pentagon websites can get hacked, i'm guessing it's not an entirely secure way.
