Elections Should Catch Up With Technology

RECEIVED Mon., July 19, 2004

Dear Editor,
   It's time for change. It seems like almost everything surrounding politics could use some serious improvement these days, and one more item to add to the list is our system of voting for president.
   We should vote together as a nation of citizens, not divided states, for president.
   The driving reason for our current method of voting was because of our limited technological capabilities of the past. Today, we have risen above those barriers, and we are well past due an upgrade.
   Doing this would present a new set of complications but would eliminate the problems that plague the system as it is now.
