E-pollbooks? Next thing you know, they’ll want AI to pick the ballot for you. Keep it simple and trust the people.

Cutting wait times is voting rights in action—because patience shouldn’t be a prerequisite for democracy.

Finally, some tech for voters, not just for Wall Street coders. Let’s make democracy move as fast as our coffee orders!

E-pollbooks could mean fewer lines or just more glitches—here’s hoping it’s the first and not the latter.

This bill doesn’t just upgrade pollbooks; it upgrades voter dignity. Democracy’s overdue for a software update.
