  1. This could be a game changer, if it becomes the general practice in the future.

  2. No absolutely NO voting on l-line!!
    Computers and websites can and will be hacked.
    Absolutely NO mail-in ballots!!
    Dead people will still be mailed ballots or family members will vote for others whether paper or on line.
    Boxes of mailed ballots will go missing! It’s happened before.
    JUST NO!
