Vision:

Internet techology will eventually make where you live and vote obsolete. In this world of fractured politcal beliefs the only common denominator will be the internet. Voters will rally online with the political interest the most matches their views. Secure electronic voting will allow for near instant election results. Even the most obscure political interest will be able to garner significant voting blocks requiring candidates to make deals with political many groups to get enough votes to be elected. The electoral college will eventually be obolished.
