Thanks for the mention. I voted this morning in Andover, Massachusetts (where GWB attended prep school) and needless to say I waited approximately 1 minute to vote. It was a hugely painless process. Sad to think of all of the people having to wait 6+ hours to vote. There is no reason why we shouldn't all be able to vote early by mail and avoid lines all together! If the mechanism is in place for absentee voting in every state it shouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility to incorporate this process across the board. Then we wouldn't need the Federal Holiday on Election Day that I call for in my blog post. Cheers.. Hi –
