Confession of a Couch Potato !

Mea Culpa, my fault of my own, Confession of a couch potato;why I fail my civic duty to vote !
I boycott civic elections because photo I D  requirement is discriminatory while self aware of its rationalization. Others receive it as valid reason. If truth be told, it's what we couch potatoes do. A way of life and world view shared by majority of electorate, voter rationalization, love of convenience, seduced by digit ease. Phenomenon no isolated couch potato able to resist. 
We the potatoes of the couch are eager to participate in any and all civic elections; proviso being, not required to exit couch and assured send button access. It's that send button and ease of effort we refuse to ignore. Digital revolution being Nirvana for ordinary potato with two good working thumbs; these digits exercise social intercourse as well access limitless entertainment, go figure ! What a country !
We potatoes of the couch do vote "Voice", "Dancing with the Stars" , etc.. Why can't civic elections be entertaining and convenient?
This confession seeks no absolution but begs the question, if we can put a man on the moon then why can't we provide a send button for couch potatoes so we may perform our civic duty and vote? Technological means are available. Voter conspiracy suppression? One is not required to stand to give it some reasoned thought!
If confession is good for the sole then the couch is the place to be !
