For years our politicians and this newspaper have told us that voter turnout would be improved if we adopt automatic voter registration as part of getting a driver license or car registration.  We did that.  Then they told us to adopt early voting, permanent absentee voting, and touchscreen voting.  We did that.  All that was clearly baloney -- we have those things and turnout is still rock bottom.  Now we're being told to adopt voting by internet.  Same baloney.  All these policies have made it easier for illegal immigrants, dead people, and residents of other states to vote in Hawaii.  These policies make it easier for backroom shenanigans to steal votes, for union honchos to and politicians to "help" members or frail elderly people to fill in their ballots.  There's a reason why all federal and state legislatures require members to be physically present in the chamber to cast their votes in person.  Think about it.
