The secret ballot doesn't work.

It's not PM-based, it's thread-based (a poll in a thread).  There is no way it couldn't work, and in fact it would be less vulnerable to tampering than the current system.

Take your buddy Ghostwhite as an example. He could log in with his prior accounts to vote and no one would know.

Absolutely nothing prevents people from voting with sock accounts now.  And knowing him he couldn't be bothered, and everyone could see if he was logging in to his old accounts as well.

Ok but right now we can actually see who is voting, so we know. Socks tend to be rooted out quick around these parts, like Simfan or Jmfcst or Atheist2006. I was giving an example of a possible situation, not questioning the character or commitment of Ghostwhite. I still remember his term as Governor. Wink

I've actually never understood the fascination with the secret ballot some have- it's a game and I find it fun watching the votes pour in. Elections are the time to be around these boards- don't take that away from us.
