"By the way, we have to fix that." Obama's Election Speech

[lexw]

(in context: "I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that.&quot .

I certainly hope the Dems are finally going to do something about those lines, and finally get a paper trail going—or go back to paper ballots.

Also, after he said that, the station I was watching panned to a young lady who kind of frowned after Obama said, "By the way, we have to fix that." Everyone around her was cheering. I wonder who that was?

1. There's one easy fix

Not the whole solution, but a huge part. And it's just simple math: a federal law that states and municipalities must arrange to provide X number of facilities, machines, and ballots per unit of population.

2. I'm going to hold him to that fix.....Oh...

That girl had been standing for hours in heels. Numb toes I think made her frown.

3. I hope so. Not that there were long lines where live

but they need to be addressed and election reform needs to be on the platform....we have to have some base line standards for federal elections nation wide.
