Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread right away...

Oh, the ignominy!
'Wisconsin recount observers given poop emoji wristbands'
'Wisconsin recount observers given poop emoji wristbands'
Wisconsin election observers in Milwaukee were given wristbands bearing the poop emoji Tuesday during the fifth day of watching the recount requested by President Trump’s campaign.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mary Spicuzza posted a photo of the wristband on Twitter Tuesday, along with videos of workers counting ballots throughout the day.
According to Spicuzza, wristbands are given to observers each day, and had previously featured markings including the letters "VIP" in gold or purple lettering.
Conservative radio talk show host Vicki McKenna tweeted that a volunteer was not happy about being forced to wear the poop emoji bracelet.
"Staff, attorneys and volunteers all wearing them. Do these people NOT take elections seriously?" McKenna asked.
The Journal Sentinel reported that neither the Wisconsin Elections Commission nor Milwaukee County officials overseeing the recount were involved in the decision to use the poop emoji wristbands.
Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson told reporters that he didn't understand the controversy surrounding the wristband Tuesday.
"I always thought it was chocolate ice cream, personally," he said. "Wisconsin Center is our vendor. They handle the logistics. They are probably just pulling what they have in stock, because this is the first opportunity they've had to be open in quite some time due to this pandemic. So again, it's a non-issue. Everybody got one."
"I think this shows that some people are just desperate for any controversy that they hope will distract from the fact that the recount is going smoothly and will confirm the results reported on election night," the clerk added.

Two thirds voting, eh?

Yeah, but only because those who do not vote are first imprisoned and then thrown to the drop bears as food.

Re: US Election 2020
Quite a few, I suspect. I regard that ability as important in the context of compulsory voting. Sure, you have to show up at the polling booth (or mail in your vote), but you always have the option of deciding that all the potential candidates are arseholes, and spoiling your ballot...
Last election had a record number of spoiled ballots (5.9%), which suggests rising discontent with all politicians...

Still, even with that, it still means that somewhere around 86% of Australian voters made a choice...

Re: US Election 2020
My understanding is that the US had about 80% turnout in the mid-19th century, but that the freedmen getting the vote after the civil war and subsequent voter suppression efforts greatly reduced that. The patronage system in place at the time probably didn't hurt either.

Re: US Election 2020
You can't vote by mail in PA unless you live in a nursing home, says judge:
The order from Judge Patricia McCullough comes in the case brought by Pennsylvania voters including Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., in which they allege that a state law allowing for no-excuse absentee voting violated the Pennsylvania constitution, which outlines specific cases where absentee voting is allowed.
