This is so ridiculous. We travel around the world to oversee elections in other countries to see that they are held free and fair and look at us – this is indeed a travesty of justice?

As a public service message, we advice all rap music fans who still have not yet voted to take a pencil and use the rubber head to touch the screen to make your selection on voting day.

This type of machine should has no place in the voting process at the voter selection stage. Software has to be written and systems have to programmed by computer specialists.  This can be manipulated so ballot boxes and paper ballots should be part of the selection process so that a paper trail is provided.

Take the business and profit out of the registration of voter process and set up an Elections America branch of government with its own budget to run all elections. This is where the computers would be vital to link all states, counties and municipalities to coordinate and police the system in preparation for all elections.

All Americans have a social security number and this should be used to register voters in the same way that it is used to collect taxes. Once you apply for a SSN, you are automatically registered to vote in elections once you are a confirmed citizen.

For identification at the polls, a driver’s license or SSN, passport or photo-ID, along with a utility bill bearing your current address, if the registered voter moved after an election is called.

People getting paid to register voters is fraught with danger especially in an economic downturn like now.  There is just too much incentive to cheat to earn money for their families.  Rappers, rap music lovers and rap music listeners know that in the streets there’s war over turf so having democrats and republicans as part of the process ruins street cred.
