Erectus Shrinking

You reckon it's less I assume!

Roy.

I bet that's a good guess.

[Digit]

Frankly Min I ignore party political broadcasts etc, I go by what the parties have done in the past rather than believe what they promise for the future.
Our news reports were full of people saying they would make up their mind how to vote when they got to the polling booth!

You don't, by any chance, use a system wherein you have to punch out chads in order to vote, do you?


Played hell in Florida a few years ago....the world has yet to recover.

[Digit]

What are chads Min?

Roy.

[Minimalist]

Chads are the little pieces of paper which were punched out of Florida ballots and which were too difficult for Floridians to handle.....hence Bush.

I tried to split/move this thread and proceeded to screw it up.


I think I'll leave this stuff to Michelle in the future. Too hard for us old guys.

[MichelleH]

Min, where did you want it split?

[Digit]

No Min, we are handed a slip with the names of the various candidates on it and we mark the one we favour then fold it and place it in a ballot box, which is simply a locked box with a slot in the top.
Alternatively we can have a postal vote, though I suspect that will be restricted in future due to fraud by Asian immigrants.

Min, where did you want it split?

At May 6, 4:59 Which is where it veered off.


I was also trying to rename it "British Election".

Screwed that up too.

How low tech!

No wonder you don't have a written constitution.


If you used voting machines you could have all sorts of shenanigans like we do!

Evidently I don't know what I'm doing either. The topic split, then disappeared......geesh....

I'll work on getting it back...

[Minimalist]

Aha!


So I'm not as inept as I think I am.


I could be president.

[Digit]

Yep Min, low tech. At least we don't have to worry about the batteries going flat!
