Editor,
I feel disenfranchised. Today is Wednesday and voting is taking place for ASUNM senators. I decided to vote and was informed that I must have my UNM net ID and password to vote. I was informed that I must enter these into a specific computer to vote.
My problems with this are that my password as required by UNM is a very long string of characters that has numbers, capitals, lowercase and special characters in it. Due to my inability to remember this insanely long and random password, I do not log into the computers at UNM. I only log in from home where I have said password written down.
Also, I am being required to use my password on a computer over which I have no control. This seems to me to be wrong and dangerous. Someone could set up a booth and ask people to enter their IDs and passwords to vote and then use these collected IDs and passwords for personal gain.
So I can’t vote in this election, and I feel disenfranchised by ASUNM.
