Yeah, that's an honest politician for a change. NRA are the Republicans voters so obviously that party won't do anything but I wonder what is the Democrats excuse? They are also afraid to upset the NRA? :p

They also are afraid to upset their key voters, who love guns, but are not organised into an actual lobby group.

We are having yet another Elections this Sunday.  :d They are becoming like a regular TV series here. (it's not a laughing mater but..) 

 

Now on season 5, we are going to switch things again. After having only machine voting the last 2 times, the paper ballots have battled their way back. It's going to be a combo system again with people choosing what to use.

 

But the big cliffhanger is yet to come. For the first time (probably in the World, i am not sure :d) after the Election day has finished, almost all of the individual voting sections are required to be broadcasting live the results tallying. There is a special website, where you can go and watch the counting. I'm sure, that site won't crash, or be hacked in the first 10 minutes. :p Also, the chairman of the Election committee has said, that 2-3 days after the Elections, videos will be posted on almost all of the thousands and thousands of sections and people can go and re-watch them anytime.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
