The Charlotte Observer posts a question in their opinionated section:

What if there was a way to boost voter participation significantly and make it easier to vote? What if it required fewer paid workers and fewer poll watchers, and saved taxpayers money, too?

I'd say pfft. I don't think it should be easier to vote! I don't want uninformed idiots voting! I don't want 100% voter participation because too many people do not know who they are voting for. I don't want fewer poll watchers, I want MORE poll watchers to make sure the elections are fair.

The Observer here supports a system started in Colorado called "universal vote centers" where "any registered voter in a county can vote, regardless of the precinct where the voter lives."

Sorry, that's not allowed in North Carolina. The law clearly states, as the North Carolina Supreme Court has upheld, that voters MUST vote in the precinct in which they live. Early voting is crap and rife with fraud and abuse. Motor voter registration artificially inflates numbers.

The Observer finishes with a line that really shows you where they are in today's society:

We'd rather vote nearby than rush across town to do it.

Lazy, sorry, no-good, illegal-supporting good-for-nothings. What's wrong with simply telling people they have to vote in person? If you're too dammed lazy to get up off your butt on election day and head to the polling place in your precinct, which IS WHERE YOU LIVE, then you don't get to vote. See how easy that is?
