How is it that a country that hasn't been fully formed yet, has a better process for voting than we do in the US? We still can't figure out what happened in MN. In Iraq you go to the voting booth, if your finger in purple you can't vote again. Its that simple.
If you live in MN you simply send in an early ballot and then go vote again on voting day. They know they have duplicates in MN, they just can't figure out which are which. So how many years have we been doing this and we are left with no confidence in our electoral process and yet we are expecting to coach Iraq's on how to setup their own democracy.
We need to take some action in area of voting and clean this up. This today has been totally corrupted. We need to get back to simple paper, and you vote on voting day, with an ID card or you don't vote. You don't get to vote for dead people, you don't get to vote twice, you don't get to vote for your spouse in Iraq. Let the military vote in their locations, certify the results and send them to the states to be recorded.
What are we waiting for?
