I think we have adequate means to do all of that now. Electronic voting, computers, internet, television, radio, telephone. Yep. All taken care of.

The reason that issue hasnt been forced till recently is because the system did what it was designed to do. But now with the 2000 election its starting to get questioned. Its a "dont fix it if it aint broke" deal. Based on what happens this year we could see a bigger move for reforms.
