Is voting free?/Internet Voting
I was always under the impression that you shouldn't have to pay for your right to vote. However, it was a 10 minute drive for me to get to the voting place. That ten minute drive cost me over $1 in gas. Now, that is not too much, but what about everybody driving that day. Think about how much gas the entire country used just for the right to vote. Ok, so here is my question. Is there a chance that in the future all voting can be done online? How would that work? How do you ensure identity online? I was thinking all of this while waiting in line for 10 minutes. I just think that this has some possibilities and I know others have mentioned this before....But why didn't it go anywhere?
