LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Improving the election system.
Voter ID: "[T]he cost of implementing a nationwide voter ID program that ensures all eligible voters have access to the polling place would cost hundreds of millions dollars."
Huh? Showing a driver's license would cost hundreds of millions of dollars? So offset the cost by charging each voter $1 to cast a ballot. How many voters in the last election do you think didn't have a buck in his/her wallet?
Modernize voter registration: "[V]oters are automatically registered when they turn 18 and the registration follows them when they move and expires when they die."
Absolutely not. In fact, I would argue that voter registration should be made harder. Frankly, I don't want you voting unless you consider the voting important enough to have put some time and effort in it.
