That's why God invented mall kiosks (and the Devil quickly set up his own shops... read on). Just think, I can wait in one long continuous line starting with Cinnabon, right past the toy store that doesn't have Tickle-Me-Anythings, one quick click to vote, pictures with Santa, and then top it all off with an energy-boosting Starbucks. My guess is the PS3 or XBox360 will have some sort of voting add-on (requiring a separate hard drive attachment) to accommodate those who thought a console unit was more important than a 'word processor'.

Online voting really is probably the best solution. That will definitely save myself and many others a lot of time. Security and the ability to prevent someone from voting multiple times should not be an issues if well designed.) Will still have to include physical polling stations, though, for those who cannot afford computers at home. <strong>Sameer:</strong> I'll never join you. ;-) Your ease in voting is balanced out by your daily tax of smog, traffic, heat, humidity, and pollution. Besides, after I voted, I walked outside, looked up, and saw stars. :-D ER: Preach on, brother! Online voting really is probably the best solution.

My voting line was 10 minutes long, the voting electronic, and the process seamless. The solution? Move to the city of concrete and light. The dark side beckons.

I mean, Netflix knows they're sending me my movies without having to wait in line at a brick & mortar, TiVo knows to record shows on my box at my house that I pick online, and the DMV will gladly send me a new license if I pay them $10 through their website. Heck, even Houston lets me pay my parking tickets online. Let's not even get into the IRS issues. The internets are good enough for all of them. So why am I going somewhere to place a vote?
