McGrath-

The logic of your man Sauls would seem to suggest doing away with having a vote in the first place.
Just heard this approach explained as classic Lewis Carroll justice: Verdict first, evidence later. Sounds about right.

Anyway, one useful thing, I imagine, is that this is going to mean that it won't be so easy to push electoral reform in the USA off into the margin.
I wish I was as sanguine about this as you seem to be; the average attention span of the American Voter being about two weeks, I would bet you a large sum that this whole sorry travesty produces little or no reform whatever. Nothing has been done about campaign finance reform as yet.

And hey! Sauls ain't MY man, laddie!;-)

Best, Greg
