But you can't just avoid the system and expect it to change itself. Never gonna happen. If the elections are as close this fall as they are projected to be (ah hem California) then expect a recount. And personally, i would like to have a receipt for that moment. I would love a better system and Sean, i hope you are fighting that fight too.
