My apologies to non-US readers. We sometimes do things a little strangely here.

Did you US readers know that in Australia there’s a fine for not voting? or that in Canada the government just sends you a voter registration card so there’s no opportunity for  one party or the other to purge the rolls? And how is it we’ve been doing electronic transfer of money from ATMS for decades – I can get cash from my bank in almost any country in the local currency without any significant error – yet we can’t figure out a way to vote where the disputed votes are smaller than the margin of victory? That’s what I mean by strange.
