-Caveat Lector-
Sorry to see the Bush family coup of America.
The Australian media and talkback radio airwaves reflect that we all are
dumbfounded at your electoral process, and especially that 12,000 or so
key votes WERE NOT ALLOWED to be counted in your election.
I feared our system could head the same way. Both political parties have
repeatedly tested the water in terms of public approval on removal of
compulsory voting, which I assume to be the first step to grabbing more
power.
That's right, here in Australia voting is compulsory. If we failed to
count 12,000 votes there would be national uproar, in fact, it would
never come to that under the present system.
Happily though, you Americans may have ensured that defenders of
compulsory voting will always have handy ammunition of what could happen
if we give it away.
regards
Duncan
