    I didn't think the state of Washington was big enough for *two* evil software companies. I'm also stunned that Microsoft hasn't tried to buy them yet.

    Personally I think this and many other problems would go away if the voting system was ported to slashcode. And every voter was given five moderator points to spend on the candidates.

    The one with the highest score wins. And we'd be able to use our mod points to explain why we're voting for or against somebody. This candidate's funny. This one's informative. That one's insightful. This one loser is a troll, and that guy's whole campaign is just flamebait.

    Wouldn't that be more fun?

    Not only that, I also heard that they use the DMCA to require you to buy a $699 SCO license in order to vote. You take that license to the polling place, where you then fill our a free registration form in order to get a proprietary RFID chip that will open the booth door and that will also be used to track your votes. The bastards!

    Did I miss anything?
