As technology continues to become more prevalent in our lives, the idea of an “e-voting” system for a national election would not seem out of the realm of possibility.

While Bruce Springsteen’s leftist political beliefs has long been reflected in his music, including his new release, ‘Wrecking Ball,’ the views of his bandmates are less well-known.
