This acts as another check and balance on the government between the elected representatives and the people. For a very small cost we can computerize roll call votes which will hold our representatives more accountable in Montpelier. Jesse Ventura won his gubernatorial race in Minnesota by exciting thousands of first time voters to vote in the final two weeks of the campaign. MN had one of the largest voter turnouts in the country in 1998. I will introduce legislation that allows three Justice of the Peace to add a voter to the voter checklist so they can vote the same day.
Voting needs to become more convenient.
Internet voting will be more common in 5 more years. Vermont should let other states lead the way so they can work out the major problems, but Vermont should allow internet voting as soon as feasible and affordable. Imaging being able to rank the candidates in order of your preference. Give the candidate you agree with the highest rank a 10, your second choice a 9, third choice a 8, and so on. Hard core libertarians could vote Macia.
