elections around the nation and make suggestions to every state.
I think there is at least one state other than OR that uses vote by mail, and all have absentee ballots. Since each state has so many different laws for voting, there needs to be a few changed to start with. Some states make you prove some reason to obtain an absentee ballot,(doctors statement or whatever) but no one should have to go out in a storm or heat wave, to stand in line for hours, to find that they changed the persons precinct, or push buttons on a machine that someone can pull the plug on and declare it wasn't working.
It certainly seems that for the benefit $$$ of a couple of vote machine corporations we have taken a very "modern" backward step.
Try to think of all the outrageous items over the years, that the corporate world "knew" we just had to have, and put voting machines on that list! The "Slinky or hula hoop" is less obsolete!

Just One Good Plan! Others will flow like water in a stream!
