It's pretty clear that at least 1/2 the registered voters in my county will have voted before election day. It stood at 36% a week before and the lines were long at all the polls, all day yesterday and presumably will be so every day. I remember hearing one woman say that yesterday was her only chance to vote. Every other day she would be working during the voting hours. If there is a three or four hour (seven hours in Cobb County, GA a few days ago) wait and you work and have children, you just can't vote. That isn't right.

We need even more opportunities to vote. More locations, more machines, more workers.

We also had to vote on those horrible touch screen machines that give no receipt, even after it is clear that they can be sabatoged, corrupted, and rigged, with no way to check the results. It is horrible.
