The Old Way of Voting is Over.

Read this artikcle: Salon.com News | "Nobody should have to go through so much to vote."

it talks about what people are going through to vote now with the early voting process that's out there. when i first heard of this i was a bit skeptical. people in politics don't like the unexpected and this made me leary. now i'm not. i'm shocked. People have had DAYS of 4 hour long lines for voting. DAYS! do you know what that means? it means many places like florida can never vote all in one day again.

they are using the same number of workers and the same number of precincts as normal and they are getting mobbed. can you imagine if all of these people--the ones that have voted over the last 2 weeks--tried to show up on the SAME DAY to vote? it would break down. 2000 would pale in comparisson because the system would collapse in on itself.

i think this turn out is amazing and i think it has changed presidential elections forever in a way no one really expected (or at least talked about). thi (other than the result) may just be the story of the year when it comes to elections. i'd go so far as to say that this would be the most significant change in elections since the Voting Rights Act (yeah...i'm counting the 26th amendment in there too).
