Let's be more like Oregon and less like Ohio: Vote by Mail!!
Here's a recent post by Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos.com:

Vote by mail is the answer
As already reported voting difficulties continue to frustrate voters in another decisive election, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden renewed his proposal to simplify the way Americans vote. Wyden has introduced legislation to provide funds to help states adopt Vote by Mail election systems, such as Oregon's. Vote by mail is so obvious a solution that I can't believe states are still fiddling with voting machines. Today's mess should make it clear that it's time to eliminate the current broken system and go with one that is less expensive, more secure, encourages informed voting, and increases voter participation. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ All that horseshit in Ohio could have been prevented with VBM. I wasn't a big fan of VBM until today. It is so obviously the answer, I have to wonder what all the flub is about. Progressives should be about progress, and VBM is a great fix for our Election Day ills. Sincerely yours, Will "Beyotch" Kelley-Kamp
