Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Yeah, if you go back to Spoilers you'll see that I'm the first person to raise the issue. And then again, I was the person to raise the issue in Bureau. But did I propose the thread? No. 'Cuz I knew you'd just shrug if I said the phrase "preferential voting" whereas for most of us there's an involuntary flinch at its mention.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Is it a flinch? I always think of it as more of a twitch.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not all of us, though. Not for the Actuaries of the Damned.

I should note that San Francisco is instituting preferential voting for this next election.

See, I knew I was living on the wrong coast.
I'm more looking forward to Colorado's referendum on whether to change their winner-take-all EC system. If that passes, and it winds up making a difference to who wins this election... Well. I think the legal challenges might produce a President about in time for the next electoral campaign.

it might be nice to have a poll to size up how many people are interested in a no-whitefont thread.
I just want to note this: I am so happy that there hasn't been a poll.
The whole point in voting is that it IS a poll. If you propose something and it passes WOOT! If not, oh, shit. Bummer. But to propose, table, poll, reconsider, propose again was expressly what I personaly hoped voting would avoid... the drawn out nature of the process.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, no poll. It was useful for the other recent proposal since it validated the interest in a Lost thread. Here we just need an up and down vote.
