Attached is a page from the training materials showing a fictitious case to demonstrate the use of one of the election machines: Dave Jones for US Senator.I would definitely be tempted to vote for him....

content: I'd vote for Dave instead of any of those running for the US Senate in my state. Talk about having to hold one's nose and vote for the lesser of two evils - Good grief. If the worst evil wasn't so bad that I need to vote for the least evil, I'd write Dave's name in as a protest.

content: Actually, there needs to be a spot for "None of the above".I imagine that if this was the case, it would be hilarious because it would often win today. When many people vote, they go in with the idea that they have to pick a choice instead of writing in and not everywhere even allows write-ins.

content: In Oz,although voting is compulsory,once you are ruled off on the book & given your ballot papers,if youreallydon't want to record a vote,you can put them straight in the ballot box as they are,or write in Mickey Mouse",or "Dave Jones" first.In either case,you are voting "Informal",which in "Oz Speak" means you haven't voted for anyone.

content: Dave can never be on the US Senate. His name is on the terrorist watch list. Haven't you read the post on his delay of electronic components because of it?

content: The problem with real, altruistic, honest, intelligent people ever getting into public office nowadays - is that their time is whittled down to zero - simply by attending to the BS and politics of keeping their job and perks.Nothing gets done in modern government unless it has benefits to the party, individual or lobby groups.Unfortunately the community-at-large are one of the lesser organised or influential lobby groups.,
