The long voting lines and the various attempts to suppress the vote in the 2012 Federal Election were a disgrace. No matter where one lives, voters should have the same opportunity to exercise their right to vote. The country needs uniform and equitable standards and regulations for all federal elections.
In his speech on election night, President Obama, referring to the long lines and the hours voters had to stand in line, said: "We need to fix that." It's time to fix the current dysfunctional system.
