Ah, OK I like that.
Because it doesn't interfere with TGIF partying?Quote:
I'd like to see your reasons for defending voting on a Tuesday in the 21st Century.
But I was really talking about the abysmal number of qualified voters who actually take the trouble to vote. I seriously doubt that there would be any real increase in the number of voters. Additionally, the lower end of wage earners who might have difficulty taking off work during the week to vote are in retailing sorts of jobs and they are working on weekends too.
That would pretty much require a Constitutional amendment and the chances of that are about the same as my winning the WDC title next year.Quote:
The House has never been proportional to the number of votes that the parties receive. There are no third parties represented at all in the House.
I could not agree more on the gerrymandering. It's an embarrassment to the system and both major parties use it whenever possible. Needs to be outlawed.Quote:
Also, apart from the at-large seats, the seats in the House are also gerrymandered to the point that there are almost no proper contests.
