    I think we should vote the same way Congress does with a show of hands.. No more secrets.. Election day would be a federal holiday that everybody had off.. Each ward would show up at a designated time at a designated school gymnasium, park, concert venue.. your ID would be checked and name crossed of at the door.. voting would be recorded and televised.. Everyone who wants to vote for this person raise your hand.. OK now everyone who wants to vote for this person raise your hand.. You would clearly see for yourself who everyone in the room was voting for.. seeing is believing.. you would instantly know the election results for your ward.. And now please leave your paper ballot in the box at the door on the way out..
