The A-Listers of Hollywood urge you to get out and vote, too. Anxious about the Read more

Some say it will be the largest since 1968, others believe it will blow 1960's records out of the water, or maybe, just maybe, be the largest in a century. Early voting levels point to a big turnout, but that could just be the same voters casting ballots Read more
I'm all about saving paper and time, and that's why I think e-voting machines for next week's presidential election are the way to go. But, wait? What happens if they malfunction and thousands of votes get lost, or worse yet, they don't enter the system correctly?
