I've been thinking lately that it shouldn't just be possible to watch the ballet process end-to-end, it should be actively encouraged.
Voting days should be public holidays, polling stations should be festivals, and moving ballet boxes should be a parade.
We hold festivals like these for far less important purposes, so why not celebrate the foundation of our society.
- germanier 10y agoIn all the German elections I participated the only people watching (apart from the regular citizens that are appointed official poll workers) were the few people showing their children how voting works - and they leave after a few minutes because let's be honest, counting ballots is rather boring. It would be nice if a few more people were watching the process.

And if money is involved, people will triple check. [oh the Humanity. I forget now if this comment started as an /s.]
