The neat thing about electronic voting machines is no one has to go to the poles to vote. Someone can program who the winner is and save us the trouble of wasting our time.

Wow, I didn't know that, Tom. Even in the US we can have a seriously flawed voting system. This smacks (in a different way) of the old "Rotten Boroughs" in the early days of the English parliament (Back when only certain MEN, such as land-owners and rich merchants had the vote).
