It is no secrete that others have died to allow us the freedom to vote. Elected officials have roll call votes, and they get their power from the people, the people should have roll call votes to set the example of accountability for those elected. Secrete elections and black balling candidates are fine for social clubs and fraternities, but the bar should be higher for our form of self government.

They should have restrooms for those who need to secrete a lot. Blackballing canditates is a common practice. It happens here all the time, even with members of the same party.

That was funny!

Blackballing candidates is a common practice. It happens here all the time, even with members of the same party.

I'm actually referring to a process where a box is passed around a room and a white marble or a black marble is placed inside the box. All it takes is one black ball for the candidate, for membership perhaps, is rejected. The identity of whoever placed the black ball is unknown. Our election process should be more open than this.
