If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work - because if they don't, they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.
Ballot formats should be standardized nationally rather than left to the often bad judgment of local officials.
I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots, there has not been a significant complaint. We have to wait to see what the outcome of the counting is.
If I put myself on the ballot and even 50 people voted for me, it'd be a travesty.
Suffrage, noun. Expression of opinion by means of a ballot. The right of suffrage (which is held to be both a privilege and a duty) means, as commonly interpreted, the right to vote for the man of another man's choice, and is highly prized.
What I never seem to understand about feminist-bashing conservative women is their inability to see how ironic it is that they attend political rallies, share their opinions, and cast their ballots when the America they're nostalgic about wouldn't allow them to do any of those things.
At the end of the day, European politicians face the ballot box, as do all of us politicians.
I want to be the candidate placed on the ballot by the people, not the party.
Our children lost our direction because they have been compromised. They have found freedom at the ballot box, and then they have taken on plastic chains around their minds and souls and mortgage their future on credit cards. They have to learn better - they have to learn the value of ideas and health as opposed to wealth.
Thank God for paper ballots.
