Yes, but IMO voters _should_ care about who gets elected. Making them pick three might get them to read the platforms or at least cogitate a little more than "hmm, that person sucks... I guess the rest are okay". >I think this way works out fine. :) >Besides, it would be too difficult to really set a limit at three. (How would >you suggest doing it?) The same way it was done in (at least) the first election, before it was changed from allowing three votes to allow voting for as many people as you like. Dave
