Is this your final answer? Seems like the PC industry and E-Commerce needs a shot in the arm. We need to get the elections out of the punch card era and into 21st century. Using PCs, voters could vote at home and/or the polling places could purchase PCs. This could also help schools that do not adequate PCs. And no more mistakes in voting - you can't vote for more than one candidate. Winners: E-Commerce, PC manufacturers, schools, election boards etc. Losers: Punch Card manufacturers and lawyers. And the voter fraud would be so complicated that no one could ever figure it out. It couldn't be any worse than it is now. And at the end of voting Regis pops up, lists who you voted for and of course says: "Is this your final answer?"
