    This is how policy decisions and elections should be decided. Your thoughts.

    This thread is evidence of the brilliance one finds on the internet.

    Shouldn't this thread have a poll to answer this question?

    Hail Grimes!

    Please cease and desist from starting threads with one line opening posts.
    There is one now.

    p.s. since this is a decent topic for discussion I'll leave it - feel free to suggest a better thread title and I'll change it.

    Vote by mail seems to be the best system we've come up with so far.

    I wanted to vot for "Yes" and "Hail Grimes", but sadly I can't vote for more than one. In that case, I'll abstain.

    The poll title isn't bad.

    Vote Grimes. In a Grimes regime, you would in fact be able to vote "Yes" and "Hail Grimes."

    Has Grimes executed the running dog miscreant who voted "no" yet?

    HAIL GRIMES!

    It's not important whether or not I believe online voting should be a thing. It's only important whether Grimes believes online voting should be a thing.

    Hail Grimes

    Yes. The plan is to also build a Roman style Colosseum, where those who refuse to hail Grimes will be given a sporting chance to survive by our merciful leader.

    HAIL GRIMES!!!

    I looked at some turnout data and both Washington and Oregon have above-average turnout and they both have mail-in (or drop by) voting.

    I would support online voting, assuming that there is the necessary security in place to prevent shenanigans.

    Colorado also has voting by mail, but has caucuses for the presidential nomination, because our legislature occasionally hates to spend money on things that make sense, like a presidential primary.

    I voted for all three:

    Yes, because it would allow us to vote for Grimes.
    No, because Grimes should be swept into office through the acclamation of the people, not some pedestrian ballot.
    Hail Grimes, because duh.

    You better get an electric fence, or someone could break into your house and tell you what to vote.

    In college, I worked on a Help Desk for a large desktop/laptop maker. People would call and I would attempt to help their issue(s). Simple things like defragmentation, ScanDisk, clearing cookies etc etc.

    If there is online voting, the elderly would be screwed (or they'll call their grandkids). The upside is people that find it hard to restart their computer would also be in trouble.
