Xbox Live and Rock the Vote

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7576956.stm.

This is a very, very good idea, and I’m surprised we haven’t seen more of this in other venues similar to Xbox Live. The only issue now is encouraging people to stop playing Halo 3 for just a few minutes come election day and actually go to their polling place.

I’m only being partly facetious. I hope that there’s an obvious option in the online registration that allows people to sign up for absentee ballots.
