Oh god not e-voting again. How many of these have to happen before people like Rocco get it:
Researchers Break DC Voting System and Leave School Fight Song Behind [Campus Technology]
I think there is something laudable about a community coming together to vote. We have culturally diverse and mostly mobile communities so we don’t necessarily share where we work or worship (if at all) or shop – the least we can bloody do is turn up at the local school and vote together.
Hear Hear I agree with Mark.
Voting is the least we can do to contribute to better government. I favour mandatory voting with a ‘None of the Above’ option, term limits and ranked ballots so when someone is elected it is by more that 20% of those 35% that bothered to show up to vote.
