Curious to see how the poll runs.

How about through my remote. Though you may be building up to a point of "taking the meaning out of it". Some personal effort should be exerted for one to vote.
*edit* the remote thing is sarcastic.

I think there are more than enough low information voters casting ballots as it is. It's not that we need more people voting, we need more people educating themselves about the choices in elections.

I'd rather see same day registration, but I think requiring voters to show a willingness to make some effort in order to vote is a good thing.

I don't think the poll question is good. What about all of us who already go to the polls? Maybe you should preface it with, "If you don't currently vote, ..."

The local post office can't effectively deliver or forward mail, why do we want to get them more involved in the process?

With early voting, absentee ballots, and so many precincts there is no reason we need to make it ANY easier to vote. At some point folks do need to actually make an effort.

p.s. I didn't vote in the poll, because none of the options fit. Chalk one vote for "I already vote for everything because it's so easy and convenient."
