[Sportsandrec] Voting problems

[Carly Mihalakis]

Sports and rec List,

Why go through all the hassle associated with the availability of 
accessible voting machines, when the so-called Democratic process 
didn't have us in mind, upon its conception, in the 1st place? Why 
not just vote absentee, and be done with it? The poles are a giant 
cluster fuck, anyway.
Why not just get someone you trust to fill in your ballot and send it 
in, being unconcerned with the presence and functionality of voting machines?
I've already voted, and am unconcerned with the materialization of 
accommodations at the poles.
