hey Woodsy...just look at the numbers...the numbers speak loud & clear...like day and night.

In the presidential election, about 3800 Meredith voters came to the polls and voted. In the annual town meetings, about 300 stayed to the end of the meeting and voted.

So, from the same electorate of voters, one style of election gets 3800, and the other style gets 300.

Why is that?

As most everyone knows, the presidential election was held at the community center, with polls open from 7am to 7pm, and voting was done on a paper ballot wthin the privacy of a voting booth. Absentee voting was welcome.

At the annual town meeting, voting is done on the 2nd Tuesday night in March, by a public show of hands, at the meeting's end, which can be at midnight, after a public discussion has been held. Absentee voting was not allowed for nobody, including the military.


My question is; Which style of voting better provides Meredith voters with 'the reasonable right to vote'?
