<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2736699, member: 71723&quot;]Oh, [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER]? I used to be a county Election Administrator. Every few months, someone promoting online voting would come see me. &quot;Think of the money you can save by cutting down on precinct workers.&quot; Guess what I showed them - the incredibly high number of people not only without Internet, but without the possibility of getting it. We would&nbsp; have no savings, just increases in costs. They stood there dumbfounded. It is actually a topography problem first of all - many many deep narrow valleys. We couldn&#039;t even provide cell phones to about 25% of precincts - no service.</p><p><br /></p><p>Want to help? Join me in lobbying the FCC for TRUE universal access regs. Then we can talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I cant tell you how shocked I am to find an Internet &quot;true believer&quot; on the Internet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It swings both ways. Most coin club members I know won&#039;t even CONSIDER ever touching the Internet. I stand astride both worlds and shake my head over both of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is Amish country. Technology is basically shunned and mistrusted here. (With the Snowden revelations, who&#039;s the fool?) There is also a VERY deep &quot;<i>Ortesgeist</i>&quot; in favor of dealing eye-to-eye and with a handshake and a cultural near fetish with the true pure auction way of buying here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
