Re: [wg-c] Votebot sample ballot.

["Jim Glanz" <bidquik@bigsky.net>]

Voter registration was initiated in the United States to preclude dishonest
intentions in the voter booth.  I believe we do not have  mechanism to
verify the validitiy of a WG-C's voter as he or she comes to vote unless
their name is proffered.  I think the names should be listed to verify one
name/one vote.  Those who believe they already know each other's intentions
from the interaction and reaction forgot those like me who have listened and
watched.  All the issues have been thoroughly discussed, not needing my
intervention, so I just listened to what you all have had to say.  I may be
the silent minority or could I be part of the silent majority?  The vote
tally will tell.  Thanks for listening.
