The recent election proves we need to change the way our country elects our future government leaders. Every eligible citizen, according to our Constitution, has the right to vote! As long as they "go" to the polls to vote, they have the right to vote AND have their vote counted! No matter how long it takes!
I believe there is a way to accomplish this. First, there should be two ballots, one for the president/vice president, Senate, etc. The second one should be for the state positions; i.e., governor, county, city, etc. The ballot for president should be provided by the government, along with a voting machine and tied into the Internet for fast and reliable counting. If a person goes to the polling place to vote and is denied his/her right to vote, for whatever reason, a computer should be available for them to enter their name, Social Security number and date of birth. The government should then set a new time and date for them to come back and vote!
This may to some people sound like too much expense and trouble, but it would provide a fast and accurate method to assure that all citizens' votes will be counted.
The state's ballot could be handled in a manner conducive to that state's regulations.
