--- Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I went to a concert tonight for a local Irish & roots band - but not just any Irish band. This particular group has been around since 2003 in various incarnations, and I have been a fan of them since I attended their very first concert. Plus, I took a class in college from the music professor who started the group, and have a lot of respect for him. So this band really has a special place in my heart, and I was thrilled to be able to attend their yearly St. Patrick's day concert tonight. (Heck, I was glad they even had a concert, since the band is mostly defunct and only performs on St. Patrick's day anymore.) 1 Quote Link to comment

insanity Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yay! WMMST: An online argument about mandatory voting in America. Two ridiculously rabid pro-Constitution pro-Freedom friends of mine made all of the good arguments against mandatory voting, which all essentially boiled down to "cuz I don't wanna". People have the freedom to choose. I don't vote simply as a vote of no confidence in the whole system. People will say that if you don't vote you don't have a right to complain, but I see it differently. Though the question I do have... Let's say they have mandatory voting, how do you confirm someone did or didn't come out to vote, without requiring ID? Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Thrillho Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 The same way you confirm whether or not someone did or didn't do their tax returns: there already exists a governmental system to collect multiple forms of information from every stratum of society. Mail out prepared voting ballots to everyone, with their information already on it. They put down the candidate they wish to vote for (either one of the Big Two, or one of the hundreds of alternative / independent candidates available and easily researchable), and drop it in the mail.

SevenofSeven Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 They have huge books here with everyone who is registered to vote in it and their address. You turn up, tell them your name and address the put a line though your name with a ruler. See too easy. Each shire has their own books with all their constituents and if you don't belong to that shire on voting day you place an absentee vote.Now I'm not going to say it's perfect but here in Australia mandatory voting is already upon us and if you don't get a red line though your name you get fined. I'm sure the Americans will come up with a better, faster, more accurate way of doing this, but it works for us colonials.Anyway once you get your name crossed off they hand you your ballots, you walk to the cardboard voting booth and proceed to write that each party sucks dead dogs...........I mean you vote for your favourite party then place ballots in the correct cardboard box before leaving and go for tea and lamingtons.

SevenofSeven Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I know right! But I guess voting over here isn't going to have people wanting to double dip and vote more than once. It's a rather somber, pulling teeth kinda experience.It's bad enough giving up a Saturday morning to stand in line for 20 minutes, why be dishonest about it? 1 Quote Wait! What............?

Thrillho Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 1.) Because 99.999% of the rest of the mail arrives that way just fine. Tax forms arrive like that. Government cheques arrive like that. Bills arrive like that. Hundreds of different types of sensitive documents arrive like that. Hell, people ship gold through the mail in clear plastic bags, and that system seems to work fine. Why would the addition of voting cards suddenly not work, sufficient to the point to sway an entire election, particularly when the entire point of this discussion is 140 million people ALREADY AREN'T voting? 2.) You do need ID to vote. However, what ID you can use is very... confusing in America. Student ID, no. Veteran's ID, no. Gun license? You betcha! 3.) You need your ID when you show up at the polling place, in Australia just like in Canada: some form of government ID (SIN card, birth certificate, passport, Care Card), and something with your picture. Since both are free, it's a pretty easy thing to handle. Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
