Our Choice: Defining Real Democracyby John Judge I have made some comments already, but this reinforces my thoughts. Recall and referendum as they have been set up are flawed systems open to manipulation by the rich rather than universal rights made easily available to the people. Electronic technology does not, in and of itself, insure a lack of vote fraud or voter disenfranchisement. It seemed to me that two separate ballots were printed for those Florida punch machines, one easily readable and aligned, the other set up to cause confusion, and that these latter were distributed to the predominantly Black and Jewish counties. Remember the election results for Buchanan in the liberal areas? There were also many comments from people in the rich communities and white areas who maligned the blacks for not being able to comprehend the simple ballots that had not confused them at all.
Voter registration should be automatic but not tied to jury duty. Voting methods should range from balloting on site, to electronic voting done in very transparent ways online, to mail-in systems with a consistent and thorough counting mechanism that only decides elections when the counting is done. Voter enfranchisement should be automatic and those challenged on site should have the right to vote until the dispute is settled against them at an election center or in court. Any mass disenfranchisement by computer list, as was engineered in Florida, should require full public notice well in advance. |
