the voting process

[fledglingoflove]

Let me begin by saying that I don't really understand why your vote is supposed to be secret. If you support a candidate, shouldn't you publically support him or her, and encourage people to vote for that candidate? Ah, well

> The Patriot Act is not constitutional.

Actually, that's really hard to say. The Constitutionality of the Patriot Act has been brought up in front of the Supreme Court on a few occasions already, and nobody has yet found an argument that shows it to be unconstitutional. Can't say that I've read any of those opinions, though, so I can't say whether they're any good or not. In my opinion, though, the law is definitely in violation of the spirit of the Constitution, if not the language.

Do you ever read being_homeless? She went on a 3-week tour with the Green Party in September, pretty cool stuff. (And we're going to IKEA on Friday, yey!)

Good for you for voting with your heart. :)

I actually voted Green Party for Maryland's US Senate seat, though that seat is going to go to the incumbent Democrat, no doubt.

You have no idea how happy it makes me to see so many people voting Libertarian this year. We're making progress, step by tiny step.

Maybe we can get on the polls next time! Bandarik's polling around 3%, higher than Nader, on polls where he's actually asked about.
