Unfortunately (none / 0) (#10)

The election laws and procedures are based mainly on the "honor system" of voters.  I have served as an election precinct inspector in several California elections and I can see that there are opportunities for fraud if there are enough people determined to perpetrate it.  In small neighborhoods where voters basically know one another, it is not easy to hide this kind of irregularity.  But I can see in larger cities with more voters per precinct that the system can be overwhelmed.

Thje experiences in Florida and Ohio should have highlighted this matter by now.  It will be a real tragedy if this democratic process is successfully subverted.

No privacy, intimidation is too easy, and those that can't take the time are cut out.

Primaries that run for several days to a week, all day long, with privacy, are far more democratic to all.
