In New Zealand, each ballot paper has a number. The number ties the ballot to the voter. We don't have to show identification. Ooops, I'm out of date. Here's how it's done now In New Zealand vote.nz It's single day, in person, say your name, they cross your name out and you get a ballot paper. If you vote at a few different polling booths, your votes could be found. If pretending to be somebody else, that vote could be found. I believe fraud is very low in NZ. It's also criminal, so risky.

Your problem is that you do not understand enough to realize those 60 court cases of voter fraud ALL thrown out for lack of evidence, included many brilliant people who exmined the evidence. You don't think the Republicans were trying their hardest to find some fraud!!?? Regarding the 60 court cases of voter fraud thrown out for lack of evidence, this idea you have, that you have figured out somethng hundreds of people could not, is a perfect example of you over estimating your intellectual capabilities, and under estimating others! Hell, you can't even see what a dangerous and stupid person Trump is! And that is pretty much 1 plus 1 stuff!! PS, and with our nation in danger, instead of dealing with it realistically, you decide to fuck around with your stupid posts! <Message #312898 from Maurice Winn at 12/8/2024 1:49:30 AM Koan, I know probability, statistics and maths aren't your strong points, so I'm happy to explain for you. The top one percent has more wealth than the bottom 50%. The bottom half always has nothing because they are wastrel spendthrifts and will even borrow to buy a lottery ticket. If they'd live within their means they could accumulate assets and even become mini capitalists. Starting from nothing and making progress from there is actually fun. Not all the time of course. Some jobs are dirty, dangerous, unpleasant. That's part of the challenge. One does need to not suffer envy of the silver spoon crowd. But success is great. I guess it's like mountain climbing which people will pay to do, and often die in the attempt, to get the feeling of achievement. I preferred to be paid for my hazardous, boring, difficult, exhausting jobs. It's good that people earn $ billions. They can afford to take huge investment risks that regular people can't as the regular people need to ensure they can keep buying food. So Elon, Irwin Jacobs, others, can invent and produce $trillions in value that the rest of us can enjoy. Envy is evil.
