Polling stations, what century?
Filed under: Uncategorized
I have just watched the General Election news and seen voting boxes being carred by students in a long line, scores of women gathered around a desk counting paper votes, their thumbs flicking paper vote after paper vote. What century is this?
Why can’t there be at the polling stations touch type computers. so that people vote and it is IMMEDIATELY counted? Better still computers with a mouse. If you can’t use a mouse, then you can’t vote, which will get rid of most of the over 70′s who shouldn’t get a vote anyway. No need for all the media circus, no waiting, polling closes and ping, we know who has won.
Our worldwide banking system is all computerised, surely it’s time our polling stations were heaved into the 21st century and this primitive vote counting was relegated to the history books.
Which is where Gordon Brown will be if the exit poll is to be believed…..
