discrimination against black voters is a big pile of dung complaints in Jaxville where young voters were bussed in their own Democratic chauffeurs urged them to vote every page IT WAS THEIR OWN DAMNED PEPTALKS, damn them This is curious vapor. What does it mean? .... I think that the system was not prepared to handle the larger than normal turn-out. The infrastructure needs to be strengthened for future elections ie 1) larger facilities 2) better ballot machines (and ballots) 3.) Better prepared staff and training A discourse on particular voter frustrations is a good thing. I am excited that their is new interest in Citizen participation in our democracy and that is to be encouraged. Complaining without putting forth any thoughtful recommendations for improvement is not particularly productive. However, I think it behooves us to use our American ingenuity to figure out how to inspire greater public appreciation and activism within this great democracy. Republican, Democrat... Whatever. People need to vote and need representation that will provide appropriate channels for dialogue driven investment for societal elevation in the 21st century. It is my sincere hope that more Americans will take up the call to get involved.
