Dear Mark: Hello. I am in my early 30's and a junior Economics major at NYU, in SCPS. I enjoyed your interview with Bill Moyers. My Polling place: Washington Heights, NYC. --99 Ft. Washington Ave. This morning, I had to fill out a sealed envelope paper ballot, when just a few days ago I went to the NYC Board of Elections Office near Wall Street, and I did confirm that I am registered in the system. And yet the polling place did not have my record. Amazing. I would say it's the absurd NYC bureaucracy, but I fear this nonsense is across the board. No wonder people vote early or absentee. And yet George F. Will expects us to lament the reality of early voting, as opposed to it all taking place on one sentimental day. Other than the time to complete a paper ballot, my experience was quick and pain free. Still, there has to be a more efficient way of using technology to vote along with safeguards against fraud and theft. I voted for Obama!
