Tom: "Cracker" is just a general racial slur against all caucasians, like when a white supremecist uses the "N" word, or referes to a Mexican or a member of the Arab culture with a slur. I may have been exposed to it more coming from a more urban setting and going to a high school of about 3:2 ratio of minorities to whites. It was used more in a joking manner but can also be used in a truely demeaning hatefull manner.

UCR might be a little big for this idea but I know it works for smaller schools like mine. For a whole week, during the days, senators and other volunteers have a table set up, it rotates to different locations at different times. They do voting this way. You show up they take your name cross it off their master list of all enrolled students and you do your vote by scan-tron sheet. Hard to cheat or stuff the box in this election. Check ID cards and you'll know if someone votes twice. To me it sounds like each college in the University has it's own election so that should make location even easier. Just an idea, may work, may not work.
