Perhaps you should ponder on the fact that you will be voting the correct way (unless you become the cantankerous old sot you're referring to just now) in a short decade. The future looks rosy, wouldn't you agree?Fairdo'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792646488171191084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808876581269387948.post-71544905232254666702016-06-23T13:14:45.383-07:002016-06-23T13:14:45.383-07:00I can recognise your angst.

To determine accurately the age of the voter, the ballot paper would need to be cross-checked with the register list at the individual polling station, and then further cross-checked with the census data to get an approximation of the age, then with the Registrars to find a date of birth. This whole process to be repeated for 17% of voters to arrive at the final total. It is going to be a long night.Jim Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510331006466209204noreply@blogger.com
