    Suggest a liberal way to vote here!

    It could save taxpayers millions, maybe even billions of dollars in buying voting machines that don't work. Plus, it could encourage greater voter participation.

    For Example:
    Suppose American voters and/or abroad could login to an official secure website to cast his or her vote. Each voter would receive a pin number and/or confirmation number. The latter will eliminate miscounted votes. If voters don't have computers or may be computer illiterate they could visit the library or election commision for assistance. The process would be similar to efiling a tax return.

    Imagine how much headache and/or taxes we could save.

    stanleyg's suggestion wouldn't work. There would still be no paper trail, no way to do a hand recount.

    Notice that tax day and election day are about as far apart as possible.

    That's a good point. We should move election day to April 16, Republicans would never lose another election.

    So, bribery at the expense of your nation is effective? Doesn't seem like it.

    Yeah, vote-by-mail is pretty good. It's the only option we have, actually, so there are no diebold pieces of shit and no long lines at the polls because we have no polls. Too bad Arizona was too stupid to pass their proposition to start doing vote-by-mail.

    As for this thread, I don't know what you mean by "liberal" either. And I don't know about voting, but we can save quite a bit of money if we effectively eliminate the voter registration process.

    Instead of having to pick up a form at your county clerk's office, filling it out, and turning it in, you could be "registered" automatically. It could be tied to your social security account. Nearly every American citizen has one, and there's a permanent record connected to your SS number. The SS system could easily be modified to show whether or not an account's owner can legally vote. A county clerk's office can obtain this information, probably through downloading from a database. And presto, they're "registered"!

    There is still some issue about the counting machines, which in OR are optical scanners.
