12. some questions (not an attack)
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 09:58 AM by Clovis Sangrail
re: votes being "a matter of public record"
Do you mean I can lookup how my employees voted?
That doesn't seem like such a good idea.
Wouldn't this provide the verification needed for people to buy or sell votes?

re: equal representation
Is there a restriction on taking part in both the convention and the vote ?
Political activists already have a greater impact than the average voter simply because their voice is amplified by their activism.
If they're allowed to vote and go to the convention(caucus) I'm guessing as somebody with deeply held feelings they would do so... which would make their voice significantly more important that the average voter.
While I can see some logic behind that it really doesn't seem very democratic.
