[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] Here's what I don't get: This happens all the time in the US. Not a congressional or school board or whatever election goes by without somebody whining about people voting who shouldn't be voting, or people being kept from voting who should be voting, etc. etc. For all I know, voting irregularities might happen up here in Canada, too. But we never, ever, hear anyone whining about it. Elections are fought, if they're close they're recounted, and then we all shut up and deal. So, sure, maybe there are awful errors all the time up here and the Natural Law Party actually won the last federal election, and the only difference between Canada and the US is that we don't have such a keen and all-round brilliant media/political machine scrutinizing these things. But my hunch is that we're holding fair elections and a decent job is being done at ensuring those who can and wish to vote do. So how the hell can you people have so much trouble carrying out a bloody election? Every other industrial democracy seems to get by just fine without any of this nonsense. Something to do with loving freedom and hating terrah more than everyone else, or what? [/QB][/QUOTE]
