my German friends bust out laughing when I tell them how we vote. Their system is double fool proof
Dare I ask? After all, it gave them Angela Merkel.
When they do that, you should ask them: "So you mean you really meant to elect Herr Merkel?"
How so??
I live in Germany. The only way that a dead guy can vote....is if he voted at 8AM and died by lunch.
Foreign votes? Can’t happen...you have to present a picture ID which you can only get if you are a citizen.
When some German city said 44,321 people voted....it’s a 100-percent reliable election. We aren’t talking 99.9 percent accurate....we are talking a complete 100 percent accurate election.
The thing is...Germans aren’t rocket-scientists over this concept. They accept a few mandatory things into the mix. There’s the public ID with a picture. There’s a mandatory requirement you register in your local town or village (NO exceptions), and if you moved one block over...you return to the city hall and re-register yourself and the move. You get a letter roughly 60 days out to tell you that the election is to be on this particular Sunday, and your place to vote is at such-and-such school building or public structure. It’s all pretty simple.
