    If simply voting is the supreme goal here, then I could take my cat to
    the polling boot and let her choose who & what to vote for. Better yet,
    why bother with spending all this tax money to set up voting stations,
    etc..? If a pure vote were the goal rather than having informed people
    choose who and what to vote for, then we could simply have a powerball
    style "vote" and save the people a lot of time & expense. That way we
    could always have random results. What could be more fair & politically
    correct? Then even an illegal crack ho sleeping under the bridge could
    have a real shot at going to Congress. Heck, it might be better than
    what we have now FAIK.
