Nope. You can never be 100% sure that the software on the machine is what it says it is. There's no way to reconcile votes needing to be anonymous with being unable to re-tally. Using a machine to print a physical ballot would be much better.

No, you can't be 100% sure. But you can't be 100% sure that GOP vote counters aren't engaged in a massive conspiracy to commit voter fraud either.

Many countries already allow citizens who are abroad to participate in elections through the internet, it's not really such a dramatic suggestion. There are already a number of completely legal ways in which democracy is being subverted, and while this adds the potential for another, the ability to dramatically increase voter participation makes it worth the risk many times over.

As long as voting isn't compulsory, is on workdays, and is generally a difficult time commitment for many, suggesting that online voting would be a net positive isn't crazy.

It's good trait for a president to be inquisitive. He's willing to be wrong if it turns out that maybe Obama wouldn't attend Scalia's funeral if it was in a Mosque.

I wonder if AllanGordon is a moron.

doesnt the preparation of the body for burial take longer then the funerals. isnt basically a prayer and some speeches. also maybe wailing if the person is really liked/loved.

Would you prefer President Cruz???

This is not 1988, the economy is trash on the precipice of another recession with zero recovery for main street from the last one, Hillary isn't going to get a 3rd Obama term like Bush did from Reagan.

She's loving losing to Rubio and Cruz in REGISTERED voter polls almost A YEAR before the actual general election.

The Democrat should be winning general match-up polls either of registered voters OR this far out, much less both.

President Cruz, President Trump. Pick one.

So weird that Jeb is fixated on defending his Dad, when most people really think he was an ok President. You don't really hear a lot of criticism of him, although I'm not sure how much power he had in the Reagan administration.

Yeah you could buy five of them for like $10 so it was clearly a bullshit mark-up and the terrible pun combined with Trump-fans dislike of Mexicans led to it being a focal point of mockery of his lovely merchandise.

You know what's interesting about Scalia's funeral? Absolutely loving nothing. C'mon CNN, let the political circus go on, I'm gettin' bored over here!

EDIT: Rather interesting that, for an organization that's been consistently against LGBT rights, the Catholic church sure has a loving shitload of men in dresses...
