Orange County offers drive-through democracy

Registration and early voting without leaving the car will be available today, the last day to register for the Nov. 4 election.

Procrastinators, rejoice.

Today is the last day to register for the Nov. 4 election, and the Orange County Registrar of Voters is providing the ultimate convenience for car-obsessed Southern Californians: drive-through democracy.

For one day only, Orange County voters can register to vote or cast their ballots without unbuckling their seat belts at eight electronic booths set up in a Santa Ana parking lot.

Well, USA invented the drive-thru window for banking and weddings, so why not elections?

I see nothing wrong with this at all, I just thought this was kinda funny. :lol:

If you want people to do something the best way is to make it as convenient as possible. I'll admit I'm a sucker for things like this as well although I'll still vote even though I don't have that option.
