>>Strawman arguments ahoy! I think you have me confused with someone else, given I've never said this, or implied this, at all. Never said what? You are clueless about the voting process in france, that's a fact, not "something you said" Is that your answer to my simple question btw? That's not an answer, but rather a strawman actually... Now will you stop fagging and tell me in which country you voted? That's the question Edit: >>This could imply that you can only select one ballot, or that you get given all of them at once. In the country where I voted, they have the same system with ballots for individual candidates, but you select which candidate's ballot you are wanting to vote for. If you take all of them at the same time, a lot of people will think you're trying to cover up the fact that you're voting for someone that is non-establishment. If you select the ballot for said non-establishment candidate, you'll also get a chance of filthy looks or intimidation tactics depending on where you vote. Therefore it's sort of de-facto that you get coerced into voting for the "right" candidate because it's out in the open. That's what I mean by voter intimidation. That's irrelevant, again it's not unusual for people to take several ballots, if not all, I do it all the time and I'm not alone. And if for some reason you feel unsafe... You can still bring the one you got from the mail, and take another at the voting bureau, and stuff your secret ballot in the enveloppe in the end Really you are trying hard, and you're mistaken. Besides, people managing the voting bureau are usually retirees...
