I’m in a TV studio all day today, so largely off grid. But I wanted to take a moment to at least point you towards Lambert Strether’s very<\/i> smart and very<\/i> welcome piece on “What voting can look like”<\/a>, wherein he points to Canadian elections and German elections and, yes, The BRAD BLOG’s own piece on “Democracy’s Gold Standard”<\/a>, to make the case for hand-marked paper ballots, hand-counted at the polling place, with results posted at the precinct before they are moved anywhere.<\/p>\n

He gets it. So, thank you, sir. Please go read him and a show a little love for one of the few folks in a busy election season who has bothered to stop and take notice of the forest for the trees, and the effect that track-conditions<\/i> can and will have on the horse races themselves (yes, races<\/em>, as there are many more elections than just a Presidential one this year!), even as everyone else in the media is largely obsessed only with the latter.<\/p>\n
