RE: electronic voting tomorrow

[pnelson@xxxxxxxxxx]

It's interesting to note that in Alan Keyes' speech last night from 
somewhere in Chicago, he said "As we stand here in the city that is the 
heart of political corruption and lack of integrity in this 
country......". 

He got that far before the local station started with loud voiceovers by 
the anchors.

It's amazing to know that this type of voting occurred in Louisiana in
the 60's (more than 30 years after the death of Huey Long!) ;)   I
thought that stuff only happened in Chicago!

I guess things have changed quite a bit since I was growing up in New
Orleans in the late 60's and early 70's. At that time, if you didn't
register as a Democrat you often didn't vote. The Republican vote party
was
almost non-existent, so the Democrat primary usually decided the entire
election. There was no crossover voting in the primary elections, and
since
there was often no need for a general election, tax issues were often
placed
on the same ballot as the Democrat primary. Republicans and independents
were not invited.

It's an open primary where candidates from all parties run against each
other and voters are not limited to voting only for candidates of the
party
they are registered under.  If no candidate takes 50% + 1, there is a
runoff
election between the top two candidates to select the winner.  This can
result in certain anomalies, such as members of the same party facing
each
other in the runoff.  It also tends to result in candidates from the
extremes of the political spectrum facing each other in the runoff.
