I shall write a Perl script that, on Election Day, downloads the ballot, picks out the candidates' names, runs credit checks on them, looks to see how many embarrassing revelations each has on Facebook, and then votes its conscience.<br /><br><br><br />That makes a lot more sense than just manually going into the booth and flipping the switches for only the names with "(R)" after them. When "HAL", or "The Suffrage-O-Lator", or whatever I call my script votes, no one will know it's not me, even if I'm out by the pool, stuck in a box of Girl Scout cookies.<br /><br><br><br />The day can't come soon enough when the Election Board can just electronically scan the electorate's minds, match up the brainwaves to the candidates' declared positions, and select a winner. Then no one would have to go near those tedious polling places.Elden Carnahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387593571625846519noreply@blogger.com
