yeah, what with putting a candidate up to run, that’s a sure sign that the election is rigged. on another note … that’s a three stooges reference, right?
A thought for the Day: If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for…but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of the franchise requires. -Lazarus Long (by Robert A. Heinlein)
There are actually some local elections where if there is a tie, their election laws have the winner chosen by a coin toss. It has been decided several times.
I have been thinking lately that the best way to ensure fairness in government is to leave decisions to chance. Have some system like coin flipping. Just make sure it can’t be rigged, like with a trick coin.
Follow the adventures of 10-year-old Red, a boy who dreams of going to space and loves baseball, and his dog Rover, a loyal friend and chaser of squirrels.
Whether flying through space, bouncing on the moon, fishing, waiting for Popsicle Pete, or delivering the paper, these two friends do everything together.

Or maybe we should appoint the losers of the election! (Didn’t Heinlein suggest that one too?)
