For $2mil/pop, perhaps less of purchased cooperatively in volume with other states, they can erect a wind power station that would power 4000 homes. This is something that can be done slowely, over time, as demand rises. I don't know if it's really feasible or not, but it sure seems like the way to go.

Look at the back of your drivers license. You will see two repositiries for information - a magnetic strip and a 2-D barcode. That could carry your voter information along with everything else it already carries. Then it could be scanned at the voting place (anywhere in Sedgwick County) and the correct ballot retrieved. When I traveled out of the country a scanner at the airport did that and I then added my passport information for my airline ticket. linda - my approach would address that issue.
