'Spaw has a good point, quite similar to what I have been thinking for a while....The state can spend MILLIONS of dollars on the computer link and systems that make the lottery work (which I don't mess with), but they still have punch cards for something as important as deciding our next president! Why spend a lot of money on equipment? Why not suspend the lottery on election day, set up all the hundred of thousands of lottery terminals as voting machines and for once put the taxpayers money to good use?
