[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"Whats the big deal with electronic voting anyways? (aside from having fun security issues, programming bugs and such) Is it supposed to save money or something?"</blockquote> It's more reliable. This is where we pause for a moment, and then all burst into raucous laughter. <blockquote>"They told me that any ballots with write-ins not on the pre-approved list would be destroyed."</blockquote> That doesn't sound legal. I mean, I don't know enough about the relevant laws, but I don't see why there [i]wouldn't[/i] be one against that. <blockquote>"They have your party affiliation at the polls? Why do they have it?"</blockquote> So that they know what party you'll be voting for during the primaries/caucuses. Some states make you register with a party ahead of time. Others let you just pick one at the time that you vote. It isn't really applicable at a general election like this. But, since it was on record, it probably just printed out on the voter list by default. I'm more worried by the fact that the guy couldn't figure out what "GRN" stood for. <blockquote>"In Argentina, any open declaration of political affiliation at the voting table would inhibit you to vote."</blockquote> So, does that mean people who run for office can't vote? Because, obviously, they will have stated their party affiliation rather publicly... [/QB][/QUOTE]
