“The problem with power Harry, is that those who are best fit for it, do not desire it…”

Perhaps we can entreat them to at least give it a shot can’t we? A signature campaign or a petition asking that individual to file their candidacy may just move them to do it, eh?

Re ‘funny thing thing is that there is a growing movement in England and the US to go back to the traditional method of voting. They believe errors and cheating are harder to catch using those hi-tech voting machines.’

Not only in the UK but also in France. During the last prez elections, commissionners found that voting with those electronic gadgets was so time consuming for the non tech savvy, eg, older generation of voters and even those who were acquainted with new tech found the system much too complicated. Many precincts junked the machines halfway during the election day in favour of good old fashion ballots.
