Hello Paul,

>LL>You are being silly. Voter registration is for individuals only.

>LL> LL>When filing taxes, one can claim to be 'head of household'.
>LL>But that is not the same as voting for everybody in the family.
>LL>What silly nonsense.

I seriously doubt anybody has even tried to vote for an entire
family, much less accomplishing the impossible feat.

Fortunately for us, we do not live in a banana republic.

Most people who voted by mail or voted early used paper ballots.
And also many who voted in person on election day. For states that
used electronic voting, having paper backup ballots is a must as
a safeguard against voter fraud.

>Its so 1980.

This is now, with many more options being available for voting.
We should go further, and increase those options, as well as expand
the voting rights to include ALL Americans, including those who are
doing time in prison.
