Voting should go quickly once people learn how to use the touch screen. It's better in a whole lot of ways than printed ballots. An election can be certified in two days. It should also minimize recounts. The old paper ballot machines would sometimes miscount the ballot and sometimes two ballots would go through instead of one. The touch screen will leave a paper audit trail and recover everything each voter does.
We need to embrace the changes because it will expand the population of people who can vote.
There are a lot of people who can't afford to buy at today's prices. It looks to me like the market is headed for a soft landing.
Eventually this will save us money by eliminating the old paper ballots. It's always been hard to estimate how many people will vote and plan to have enough ballots printed. That problem should be eliminated. We've had a trash barrel full of ballots left over because we had too many ballots printed and then have a low voter turnout.

There's no national housing bubble, ... About a third of the markets appear to be overpriced, if that's the definition of a bubble. That means two-thirds are not.
The touch-screen system will verify with the voter if they voted for who they wanted. The voter will then push the button to vote.
I think he's got the best chance of beating the current administration, better than (Steve) Forbes, better than McCain,
I don't want boys to use bad language.
