Though it is a little harder for a newbie to learn, I like having 6 or 8 parties instead of 2. Can anyone imagine the day in real life when the Green, Libertarian, and Constitution Parties have as much of a chance at winning an election as the Republican and Democratic Parties? I don't think there should be a required four parties, but notice this past election King and Dibble combined their tickets.

We don't want to make things overly complicated as we do this for fun and our elected officials have a real life outside of this. Our presidential elections are every four months instead of every four years. The real congress talks about some stupid things that I doubt anyone really wants to discuss here.

I can see the point of cutting voting down from 72 to 24 hours, but this is not real life and not everyone can get to a computer whenever they need to. (Well we do have absentee voting.) The problem that this is trying to address could be solved with anonymous voting, but this would make it much harder to protect against voter fraud.

As far as what happened in the Southeast, I think we need to somehow make sure people who vote are at least active enough in the Fantasy Boards to make an informed choice when voting. The activity requirements can be met on non-fantasy boards allowing people who have no idea what has been happening vote.

As I have noticed the Coatlition to preserve preferential voting, I wonder if I should start the Coalition for Condorcet voting. (Only the third time in the past 48 hours I have mentioned Condorcet voting so I won't say anything else.)

That's two. I guess I'll start a thread for this.
