Today is Election Day here in the United States.  I live in Texas, and we have the opportunity to vote early during the two weeks before the week of the election day, so I voted early last week.  That way, I won’t have to stand in line today to vote.   For all of my readers here in the United States, make sure that you vote.  Let your voice be heard!  This promises to be a historic election.  While almost everyone is voting for one of the two top candidates, there are other candidates on the ballot.  I encourage everyone to vote for whichever candidate they feel best represents their own views.  The wonderful thing about a nation such as our own is that you are free to vote as you wish.  But, if you do not vote, you have no business complaining if the nation’s leaders don’t do things the way that you believe that they should.  So, no matter who you vote for, please vote.  Even the astronauts aboard the ISS are voting, so we here on Earth have no good excuse for not doing so!

    Exactly HOW do the astronauts vote and keep it secret. Encryption?
    Digitally signed envelopes for ID verification? PGP ?
