The first change that I would make is closing polls at the same time. This is because some people are still voting when a decision has already been made on the candidate winner. For example, in 2000 news stations had said that Al Gore had won Florida, before the west side of the state had even finished voting. When the polls in Florida closed, Bush was actually the one who won. There was a major fued and recounts were put into order. This was a huge mistake that could've been avoided if all the polls would close at the same time.
The second change I would make is madatory identification check. I think that ID should be required when voting. Right now nobody shows any identification when they go to vote. This logic does not make much sense and i think it should be required. Without identification, we could have identity theft problems where people try to vote under other people's names.The third change i think shuld be put into place is all personal 18 years or oolder should have to vote. It should be madatory.As of right now voting is an option, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. I believe voting should be manditory for all people 18 years and older. It is understandable that some people just don't have time in their day to do it. However, making work places give their employees time to go off and vote would be beneficial to the entire country. Even if there was a way to make the election process online for those who can't find a way to get out of their house. Also, since the world is becoming all technology, I think electronic voting would be very beneficial. Voting online, or on touch screen computers at the polls would be a great improvment for the United States.
Closing polls at the same time, showing an identification, and making voting manditory are all important things that should be considered when thinking of change.
