The Voting Doldrums


Lately, voting has become quite a task.


It now has become harder to vote in some regions, that it is to open a can of beans.

Now people may stand in lines for several hours before they cast their ballots.

In spite of numerous arrangements such as "early voting", and "absentee ballots" for those who aren't absent, but present: Voting has become a daunting task.


Is this what the founding founders and the framers of our Constitution had in mind?


Something has gone terribly wrong with the American Experiment!

We took a turn for the worse when we decided to vote in "alternate ways".


Gone are the good old days when a person would proceed to his voting precinct, line up, and

cast his or her paper ballot..., just vote.


Optical scans, electronic voting.......


Now, there are so many hurdles to jump, hoops to leap through.


Arsenio.
