Al Franken...is this for real?

I would suggest that when you use your head, you would recognize serious flaws in our voter registration system that disenfranchises millions of voters every election.....many for such inane reasons as a voters name on his voter registration card, John Public, not matching the name on his drivers license, John Q Public....or a voter moving and changing his address during the period between when he registered and when he voted. ...or persons denied the right to vote because they share the name of a convicted felon in their voting precinct.

The flaws in the current system are too numerous to mention, including the reliability of voting machines (as noted by TW) and no mandatory requirements for paper trails.

IMO, we need comprehensive voter reform far beyond the Help American Vote Act that was enacted after the 2000 fiasco.
