In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.

1 thought on “Michael Smerconish: Beware the ‘Blue Shift’”

  1. Just curious, Do you, or your guest believe that the states are able to guarantee that less than (arbitrary figure) 1% of the ballots sent out will arrive at the correct address of a current state resident and that only a single ballot will be sent out to residents who have relocated within the state, and that no ballots will be delivered to addresses bearing the names of dead people? Are there provisions to assure that mail carriers will faithfully deliver all the ballots and not be coerced, in any way, to divert them to individuals, or groups who intend to commit fraud with them?
