Why the public polls?

[ajsdx]

I'm just starting to follow the election proceedings, so excuse me if I say something irrelevant or that's already been discussed. Why are the polls in the primaries public?

To avoid further issues with voter fraud... people using aliases to vote multiple times, etc...

To ensure that nobody votes multiple times with multiple alias.

Yes, but if it does and somebody's name comes up that is suspect, it can be checked... it happened in the first primary vote we already held.

Exactly and if its determined to be an alias then the vote is immediately removed from the total.

Thanks guys. I'm reading this thread now (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...=149199&page=2) and it's becoming clear to me. Still, though, I think it would be better if an admin or mod tallied the results behind the scenes and vetted the votes without displaying them to the whole zone. I guess there are advantages both ways.

I'm going to read those debates now.

Technically yes but due to staff working on the campaigns we thought full disclosure is better and we are all adults here and I dont think anybody is going to hold a grudge for not voting for them in an internet election.

I almost agree with you... we are not all adults here however.

Based on the little I've seen so far, I'd say you're an optimist with that statement! It's gotten pretty realistic pretty fast.
