For voting information go to Vote for Change. They’ve made finding out how to vote very easy. You can use this website to:
* 1. Register to vote.
* 2. Request to vote absentee.
* 3. Find your polling location.
Having read all of the Greg Palast/Robert F. Kennedy Jr. information, I wanted to make sure I was really registered. I was able to access my Bergen County election official’s email and phone number. I ended up calling and reassuring myself that I was on the rolls. Whew!
To make sure it gets there on time with a tracking # I’m going to express my vote with FedEx. Do you live in a “swing” state, or a state that tends to “lose” ballots? FedEx will express your ballot in most states, too.
Thank you for making all of this easier, Obama!

When I lived in Ohio and voted for the last presidential election, voters had to stand in line for over 3 hours. This was in Franklin county ohio in a poor district. Some handicapped people and elderly were not able to stand in line for 3 1/2 hours and ended up not voting. In this day of technology, I think we should revise the voting system so that people can vote from home on the web if they want and every vote could be linked to a social security number to help prevent fraud. Voters could log in and see how their vote was cast to ensure the correct vote was entered. If computers are safe enough to use for everyone’s taxes, why is it that we have not yet made the leap to voting? I think the reason is that if you introduce a percentage of error into the system, you can skew the results so that Republicans win, just as we saw in the last presidential election. I feel we should change the voting so that its accountable and accessible for everyone. As a computer programmer I know it is possible for people to enter their votes at home without standing in line for 3 hours, and through technology we can ensure everyones vote is accounted for, and verify that it is correct. If its safe enough for our tax money, its safe enough for our vote.
