As Thomas Beale has pointed out, in order to make the slightest sense of the
numerators in an election, you need everyone included in the denominator.
Ensuring that requires legislative compulsion, and the experience here in
Australia proves that the sky does not fall in as a result. Lessons for health MPIs
there.
That certainly isn't how elections are viewed in the US. Perhaps it is because we don't try to make sense from them :-). We just take the results. It is an interesting study on why we have an Electoral College. Our whole system is based on managing distrust through checks and balances.
