Part of "Electronic Voting Machines Project"

 

The security of elections and the ability of citizens to participate in the political process by voting are fundamental to our democracy. However, the history of elections has shown that when there are opportunities for fraud and deception, there will almost certainly be individual and organized efforts to exploit them. Various forms of disenfranchisement and voter intimidation have also long been a feature of elections.

Talking ’bout My Generation

Stop telling me that I am out of my element!  Stop telling me that I am morally corrupt!  Stop telling me that I am the problem!

If it sounds like I have an attitude problem, I do.  This Generation Y’er has a beef with his elders.  Call me naïve, or call me crazy, but I believe that my Generation (those born between 1977 and 1994) is becoming the generation of the future.  Right now, it is the older generations that are holding this country back, not the younger ones.
