I give up. I always thought us aussies and you guys had so much in common...but when I read about your election system and how you count your votes, well, the sh*te that goes on just leaves me confused and shaking my head. I mean, they do better in India, don't they? (Maybe even in Afghanistan, where ballot boxes are carted around by donkeys!)
When will your entire system finally be reformed?
Election law is left up to the states first, and in practice, to the counties. I agree that we need standardization, at least for federal elections. I think many people are realizing this right about now...
When Democrats start going to jail for this crap. Bill Richardson would be a good start.
Ballots in the bathroom... this is so absurd it's embarassing.
And I must tell you, sir:
We have more in common, in this state, with Afghanistan than Austrailia.
Hey! We're on the Honor System in the US. It's just that a whole bunch of us, namely Democrats, have absolutely NO HONOR!
The state is controlled mostly by demoncrats, that's why all the shenanigans, demoncrats always cheat, known fact, ask Richard Nixon when the dead of Chicago voted for JFKennedy and JFKennedy won because of that. Too bad both are dead. JFKennedy is probably still voting.
Hopefully, after Bush gets the obvious stuff rolling and the deadheads out and the real people in - I'll just betcha that election reform is on the books -
maybe they've finally gone too far this time and people will wake up ...and back reform
