RUTH TOHT, Centerville: “I’m not a registered voter. I’ve never voted in my life. If there was online registration, I still probably wouldn’t. I don’t follow all the politics, and I think if you go and vote without knowing anything about it, you could be doing more harm than good.”

ERICA WALLACE, Dayton: “It could be good if people are honest, but there could be fraud. It’s a good idea for the elderly, if they’re Internet savvy. But for the younger group, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I think everybody should register to vote, though.”

BILL HUBER, Carlisle: “I’ve never voted in my life, and I never will, because they’re all criminals. If they’re not before they go to Washington, they are after they get there. I get a lot of flack from my family because I’m retired military.”
