ALSO, you can see even on the fucked up ballots that you NUMBER CANDIDATES IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE. Thereâs no need to calculate whether I would be throwing away my vote on the candidate that I most agree with if theyâre not from a major party. I can say, I want that independent person to get in, but if not them, give me Big Party A, and if not them, that minor party person is still better that Big Party B, and Iâm not giving any preference to the Lunatic Fringe Party.
Our system certainly has some issues still, but I can show up to somewhere nearby, line up for a few minutes (if at all), vote exactly in line with my values (on paper, leaving a paper trail that can be recounted), and then buy a sausage and some home made cupcakes on my way out.
A countryâs voting system matters a hell of a lot and every citizen deserves one that makes it easy to vote and results in a government that is representational and accountable.
And by the way, one time I had a bad asthma flare-up on Election Day and didnât make it to my polling station. I got my fine in the mail, I filled out the form explaining why I couldnât vote, no more fine. I would rather have, you know, expressed my preference for who should run my country, but they were cool with the fact that I couldnât do it that day.
