I heard on the News that, "Absentee Voting" is not advisable...?

EXCELLENT QUESTION.I was wondering about the huge computer  vs paper ballot vote this election.Sounds like another election scam in the making

I haven't heard about this specifically, but in theory, I agree- it would just bring in uninformed voters. We need voters who have opinions that need to be heard; the payoff of voting is having someone in office to do the job correctly and get things done, what's a better incentive to vote than that?

Could be, some of the toss-up states (e.g. VA) are within a thousand votes.  Close enough to count the absentee ballots.

They have a lot of problems to work out before a vote. I talked with someone today in Washington that said it might not be until after the election. Both sides want to deal with it at the same time they don't. More pressure put on them by the public faster the process.

It is very disconcerting to hear that many of the new voting machines do not give receipts, or copies to the voters, or to anyone else.  If there is a malfunction or fraud, there will be no way to verify the results and there will be no possibility for a recount.  This may cast a big cloud over the election for voters in either party, but especially for the losers.  I don't like that news.

I feel that any vote I cast is wasted regardless of whether or not my candidate wins. Because the Supreme Court Justices are the most evil people in the federal government and I can't vote for or against them. So I've decided to not even bother and vote any more.

There was actually an issue with electronic voting machines in Florida again this year.\n\nSometimes mistakes happen.  Sometimes people try to cheat the system.  Sometimes people other than democrats have made errors or cheat, too.\n\nI think that you're painting with a very broad brush, as the saying goes.  I think it is unfair to pose a question or make a statement that says only democrats will cheat, whine, or mess up.  When dealing with so, so many people as ALL of the political parties are, the chances for there being "bad apples" in the bunch is always there.  \n\nAnd for the record, I am not a democrat, repulican, or otherwise.  I'm of the "non-voting" type currently and don't support any specific party.

Most important: they should not be corrupted.\n\nThat is the reason I rarely vote !

Wow! I didn't realize how many rude, ignorant, people that were on here at 1 time. I totally agree. There is a surplus of funds in the lottery money. Anyone with 1/2 a brain would know that. And they say the uneducated would be voting! Ignore the stupid comments. Maybe you should contact your state reps & try to get that on the ballot for the next session. It's not bribery it's an incentive to get people to vote. It doesn't mean they would go vote for just anyone, it might get people to get more involved.

Do your civic duty, it's the price of being able to vote.  You might not be chosen anyway.

No, because it doesn't matter if you do vote. Politicians do what they want not what they're elected for, and most voting systems don't allow proper representation.

Yeah, you got it about right. They may not to be able to do anything about it. It's up to the voters, remember this is a free country. We all get to vote.

Yes - I find the whole process fascinating.  I also believe that voting is an informed decision making process, so I keep up with local, state and national issues so I can make an informed decision.  How can a person complain about the state of things in their city, state and country if they are not well informed as to what is going on AND they don't vote!  If you don't exercise your right to vote, you shouldn't complain about the state of things.

You shouldnt ask people what they are going to vote for, then that would mean that your vote wouldnt be from you. You should vote your yourself, and its not like one vote is going to make the world of difference anyway.

I agree 100% with you, but lets take it one step further. In libraries and community building machines like automatic teller machines could be placed and from time ballot was printed till 8 o'clock election day you could enter your voting card get paper ballot an envelope vote at your leisure put it into envelope, and with magmatic voting card deposited it to be collected and counted election night. This would end 3 hour time problem. Biggest problem would setting up system to prevent counterfeit collection boxes from being put into system, but with GPA tracking it could be overcome. Primaries could also be done this way if you were allowed to pick you party day you voted.

If you don't vote, don't complain about what is going on. I voted, now I can complain to my heart's content...certainly worth the trip to the polls. Of course, once the votes are all counted, they will be sent to Florida to be recounted, and we will all win with another wonderful, honest, peace-loving government, won't we?
