Stupid Americans! -- Stupid... Stupid... STUPID!!! _____________ovywfuju
Hello, Personnaly i'm French and i would not be confident with electronic or mail voting. Here only paper ballot is allowed and every citizen of a city can watch the box that contain the ballots from the opening until to the counting. I think electronic voting is dangerous for democracy. I don't know if the vote in the USA was falsified and i think we never know. Every one here know how It's easy and steal to fake a software. That's said. USA election is their stuff even if most of foreigners were for the challenger thats is their decision. Irak war affair against terrorism was however a such huge joke that most of people around the world doesn't understand why Pr Bush was reelected. But maybe the badest news for 35mm users is that without Kyoto agreement it's gonna be difficult to take snapshots under salted water and hurricanes (from this point of view maybe Florida citizen should surely choose another candidate). Regards. B |

But how do they know whether the people doing the counting are honest? - Can every citizen also count the votes himself? - do you have secret ballots, or is every citizen's vote a matter of public record? Who does the counting? - Do you elect the counters? If not, then how are they chosen? - It is not a simple problem, you see, and it is wrong for you to imply that our system is somehow open for misuse unless you can explain some better method and prove that your method is really better. |

A random person in the room (you can be volonteer to be choosen) opens each ballot and show it to everyone in the public room. There is a near public big blackboard to count each count once. You can be as close to the opener/blackboard as you want. The box is transparency. Sorry but you can see the ballot and the box/counting as you can do it yourself. I think it's really secure compared to an electronic (complex) machine.Ballots are secret. Tricking even if it is never impossible is really easier with complex system like electronic (black) boxes. Just my opinion. |

In Canada, every party who has a candidate in the riding (electoral district), has the right to have an observer of the ballot counting process, yes they can view the ballots, and all must agree to what the ballot is trying to say. When agreement can not be made, then there is a problem with the ballot, and it can be declared a spoiled (ruined) ballot and it is not counted. We have a different perception here, if the voter is too stupid to mark their ballot properly they they don't deserve to be counted. W |

The voting instructions should be printed large and hung on the wall, where you get your ballot, just as they are here (and always have been). Again, if your too stupid to follow those instructions, then maybe your too stupid to vote too. BTW I live in a Jewish Neighbourhood, the instructions are in English, French and Hebrew. Although ballots are only in English and French. W |
