I don't understand all this voting booth, electroneering - lets install
this and that approach to an election.  Can we just vote in public on the
list.  You all acting like a bunch of prima donnas.  Just get on with it
and vote.  Setup an email address to forward ballots and then send out
ballots.  There's alot of mistrust here.  Which really pisses me off -
because how dare you people vote on if you trust me when you don't even
trust each other.  How transparent - how presumptive.

So people in a situation in which an assempbly does not trust itself - you
call for a public ballots and send out the ballots.  This is called a
motion.  And all you have to do is write the ballor and order the powers
that be which control the membership list to send out the ballots.

Your all masturbating here trying to recreate a voting infrastructure with
endless arguments which amount to nothing.  Just get on with it.  and
vote.

Jesus Christ save them all for they wander the tower of babel ...
