Rock the Vote

How could I not blog about voting? This morning I woke up extra early and arrived at the voting place at 6:45AM, it didn't open until 7:00AM. Unfortunately, a couple of other people had the same idea. So I stood inline for about 40 minutes until I was finally able to execute my birthright as an American. Not too bad, but can't we do better.

So, of course, I started thinking....why can't we all use the internet to vote?

People with access would log on and provide their social security number for identification. We do it now for banking, credit card transactions, even electronic tax refunds for tax refunds and funds transfer. You might need a couple of security questions to validate identity, but we already do that.

For those without computers, they can still go to voting booths, but now all we need are a bank of laptop computers not these antiquated voting booths that never seem to work right.

Another advantage is we could track the results real-time, with active poll results right there on the website. It would be the world's greatest horse race all day long. Anyway, it got me thinking, maybe you will think about it a bit too.

How does this related to business? Well, this process might be one of the most unremarkable in our modern day. To make it more remarkable would also mean its more efficient, more effective, more accessible, and more reliable. I think that would be interesting to most Americans.
