Grayson's proposals should be implemented!

Secretary of State, Trey Grayson, yesterday made two proposals to the Kentucky General Assembly's Task Force on Elections, Constitutional Amendments and Intergovernmental Affairs: 1) To require a paper trail of all votes, and, 2) to allow voters to cast ballots up to a month before Election Day. Both of these proposals are no-brainers and should be implemented immediately -- too late, though, to salvage the integrity of the past elections and improve the voter turnout. A few objectors, like Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins, who "[a]sked to slow the freight train [of these progressive ideas] down, [because] [w]e're getting this [voting] thing too complicated", need to be led away from the "train station" of progress.
