Sister need something to listen to music on when exercising, mom needs a new mouse and me....I put my bluetooth headset through the washing machine and Washington state made it ILLEGAL to talk on the phone without a headset....pick me!
When I was young Aruba was the dream, but it never came true,
Perhaps it will with Jet Blue.....
Need a watch, use my cell, very old, cannot read the teeny tiny numbers ANY more.....who can help? :-)
Oh! I am sorry I did not make myself clear above.

Identify yourself with either a driver's license to an envigilator who then crosses you off a pre-gathered list. If you are not on the list then provide a passport AND a driver's license to prove you are eligible to vote and where you are eligible to vote.

Next get directed to the voting booths with instructions to make your choices on the screen(s), take the two copies of the print outs with your choices which do not have ANY identification of yourself, just your choices, drop one printed copy into a sealed ballot box (you have to do it, the envigilator may not touch the ballot) and take the other slip of paper with your verified choices with you. Now, you could eliminate the extra slip of paper if you wanted and just have one copy with a verbal verification by the envigilator that the voter had indeed verified the printed slip represented what the voter had voted (this would indicate any potential tampering as well as provide an unquivocal hard copy for recounting if necessary....no chads). As well, the envigilator would mark beside the voter's name that the voter confirmed they had verified the printed results with their electronic entries.

Either way, you now have an electronic system with a backup hard copy system.
As a Canadian who has been part of a number of elections (and one referendum) in Canada we were/are able to perform a paper election and have ALL the ballots counted withint 4-6 hours of the last poll closing. (It was even touted in Life magazine year end a few years ago).

As for electronic voting, India seems to have a GREAT system that is portable enough to take in the farms even.

As well IF a paper result was printed out both for the voter AND a copy which was then put into a sealed voting box there would be a sure way of follow up when necessary as the vote would be checked by the voter before they left the voting station.

Lastly, the comments about identify confuse me, the process requires either a passport, or a driver's license.
Great stuff when having to work out of town with NO Sci Fi channel!
The Wii has proven to be fabulous for helping me lose weight and generally increase physical well being (not to mention putting the biggest smile on my face) when I visit friends.

This would be totally great to have one to use at home!!!
Sweeet! Could really use this.
Sweet opportunity! To have a chance to get hold of something that I can call on, use to finally throw out all those sticky notes AND send emails while sunning on the beach!
Definitely need something with a keyboard! SMSing friends sucks on my MPX220
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a 12- or 13-inch ultraportable that can also play modern games at a reasonable level, for less than $1,000. I know the brainiacs out there can help me out. Love the site, thanks!"
