Of course selling a vote is against the law, but I was sure someone
would try it.
I detest the electoral system, I'm a firm believer in the popular
vote. The fact that I voted for Bush notwithstanding.
Maybe we'll get lucky and this whole mess will cause the system to
be revamped.
I'd like to see an online process established, I believe I saw that
encryption protocols had already been worked out. (Bruce Schneier's
book).
Got my PGP ready.....
