It will be easier to staff the EC if the volunteers do not have to come from a particular region. It would certainly be easier for the EC if everybody has to register in order to vote. It is not much fun having to chase down 200 bounces every time you have an election. Please note that the EC still has to contact the SC in case of new registrations, to see if they belong to that state. My major concern with the EC is the super security wish. It was so secure in two of the last three elections, that some web browsers would not work with it. That is not a way to encourage more voter participation. One more thing. The Secretery/Publicist job should be done away with. David David W.
