if it helps, think of the vote as a big piece of complex architecture - because it is.

Yank out a brick here, an arch there, bust a supporting wall there, what happens to a building? It might not collapse on you, but you'r doing it no favors. You're weakening the entire structure.

Yes, poeple with outlandish and strange outlooks on the world get to vote. Do you really want to set up a system that pares voting rights down to a collection of "acceptable" views? 'Cause that's what's behind door number two.

Sane rational people will miss elections from time to time, but the REAL wackos never fail to miss even the smallest election.
