November 2, 2008 will push the current voting system to the wall. This election will also generate considerable legal activity. Most significantly, we will see millions of voters disenfranchised again as a result of intended or unintended actions by elections officials. It's all entirely unnecessary. Election laws are not that complicated and the process of conducting elections should be a simple one. But open, fair, and convenient voting by as many citizens as possible isn't necessarily the goal for some politicians and elections officials.
