If the citizens of the United States have learned one thing in the last three months, it’s the fallibility of paper-voting systems.Suggestions for solutions to the problems like those which occurred in Florida during the 2000 presidential election range from getting rid of punch-ballot systems to doing away with paper altogether and moving to electronic systems.While the country may not be ready for the latter, the Government of the Student Body has decided that ISU students are.At its meeting Wednesday night, the GSB Senate unanimously approved changes to the GSB election code, allowing students to vote for their campus representatives online.Members of GSB will work with the Academic Information Technologies Department to develop a voting system that operates similar to AccessPlus.Why? Partly because of cost — the reduced need for election staffing and paper will save the university “a substantial amount of money,” said Chris Wisher, GSB election commissioner.Another reason is last year’s Florida-esque problem with the Richardson Court Association senate seats. Because of ballot problems and a recount, the results weren’t final until a week after the election.Rather than obsessing over the potential (and unlikely) security problems of conducting an official election on the Web, GSB is taking an avant-garde step toward the inevitable future of national-election procedure.This is a science and technology university. It just makes sense to do this.Not only will this be more convenient for GSB election officials, but it will be more convenient for students to vote in a campus election that has historically had a pathetic turnout.So look for more information on this in the Daily, and log on to vote March 6 and 7.editorialboard: Carrie Tett, Greg Jerrett, Katie Goldsmith, Andrea Hauser and Jocelyn Marcus
