a few nuts and bolts for OBHP

I don't know what  elections were like in the Soviet Union way back when but  here is an interesting article on the way they are now https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/russian-elections-follow-soviet-tradition-180316202457460.html

Interesting in the way the commissars know Putin would win in a fair election, but figuratively stuff the ballot boxes anyway just to get a good turnout.  Kind of the way we used to do in Chicago.  And speaking of stuffing ballot boxes isn't it outrageous the way Trump is calling to stop counting ballots in Florida before all the votes are in, many of them from the armed forces, and speaking of the armed forces, isn't it disgraceful how he dodged the WW I memorial?  Though I hear that stiff rubber rain boats can chafe a sensitive bone spur.

It turns out that my voting no on all the judges paid out after all.  One of the bad apples didn't get reelected and my vote was one of those that sank his ship.  Two little lines connected for Uncle Ken, a giant step towards good government for the good people of Chicagoland.

Well maybe not a giant step, likely a lot of bad apples still got through.  That whole system of voting for all the judges is a bad apple itself.  A better system would be to vote for people who appoint them, then the appointees might be careful who they appoint lest they themselves get voted against,.

Further down the ballot I voted, like Beagles, for people I never heard of running for offices I didn't know existed, the only difference being I voted dem where he voted rep.  Something wrong with the current system right there.  In the OBHP system there would just be names.  I could easily consult some sort of web page or paper or Youtube-esque video that would give me some info on all the candidates.  I think most voters would do that, would prefer that to all those insane mailers that stuff the mailbox and commercials that clog the airways.  I wonder if the candidates were allowed one single campaign commercial.  Would they fill them with crap the way they do the many they air now?


What is this about free medical care being available if the veteran is poor enough?  I thought all veterans were eligible for VA care?
