A take-home receipt could end up being a beat-me-up certificate in some neighborhoods… I’m for everything else, except the biometric scanning which seems like overkill…

I’m with you – here we are in 2005 and some places still use punch cards, paper and pencil check boxes. I’m with you about the biometric. We should use retinal scan to identify the identy and automatically verify eligibility of the person to vote. Of course, that won’t happen because to many people think that is “Big Brother”.

Agreed, but the networks will never agree to that, and there's that whole pesky 1st Amendment thing...
