David,

I like the possibilities of using biometrics for voter related activities (specifically, voter registration and the act of voting itself). But I've got to tell you, as one who lives in California, I have come to loathe the initiative process. The initiative process may have started out with good intentions (to get around the big money influence of state legislatures) but now it has become the tool of the special interest groups. In the last election we had something like 15 initiatives and I was fed up trying to understand and make informed decisions about all of them - and we seem to have more and more initiatives on each new ballot. It's takes a MAJOR effort and LOTS of time to plow thru all of the initiatives. If things keep up like this we will soon have 100 initiatives on a ballot!! Who needs it!!?? It's better to make our representatives do their jobs and then vote to keep them in or boot them out!!
