Should Voters be allowed to weight their own votes? |
|
There are people who voted for/against prop8 .. but their support might be lukewarm or strong..
My problem with the current setup is that someone who barely supports the issue is given as much credence as someone who is opposed to it with every fiber of his/her being.
so if we are all going to use electronic balloting, optical scanners -- its not a big deal to crunch those numbers to reflect the true verdict..
There are many analytical decision theory tools that that aid this process.

1. It would make no sense for anyone to vote anything but "strong" in every category. |
|
Even if you only feel sorta-against or sorta-for something, why would you want to lessen the impact of your vote?
