Re: Is voting free?/Internet Voting

You didn't have to drive there; 10 minutes drive is within bicycle range. Voting IS free of charge; if you choose to spend money getting there, it is your choice. Walking is always free, carpooling can save money, etc.

At this point in time, Internet voting has too many logistics issues in terms of computer setup, fraud resistance, and universal access*, but surely this will become common in our lifetimes.

*My 90 year old father might be able to manage it with considerable effort, but my 87 year old mother is a bit of a technophobe and would never be able to vote by Internet. Heck, she literally cannot manage the ubiquitous "press 1 for ..." instructions. Both walk to the local school to vote without any problem.
