Does anyone else have an opinion? So far Barnes, Saphh, Moot and Laurentus have commented more than once. Am I to assume that the rest are indifferent?

Well most of North America was asleep, including myself...

I think that while it isn't really necessary, there are other ways to anonymously publicly vote, like in polls that allow you to choose X number of candidates or less and don't show people who everyone votes for.  There wouldn't be any voter fraud, either, because we could make it so only citizen accounts can vote, and there can't be multiple citizen accounts per IP address...

Can we vote for multiple people in polls?

I believe it is possible to allow multiple choices in polls.

I have thoughts, but I will have to post them later. I am at school and it will be a few hours before I am home.

Dont we already?

No, I mean as in when there's a list of 10 candidates, can we vote for 5 of them?

Honestly I have to agree with HannahB, Wintermoot, and Axis/Joshua. Further this won't fix anything, and would only exacerbate the issue. The issue with the band-wagoning isn't with voting, but it is the issue with debates. Further people would still reveal their public votes...so it doesn't change anything.

Further, using this vote as an example, the only change would have been more abstains because many people wouldn't have seen that people actually would vote nay, except me. Hell if anything it would be more of a blindside should it fail with this system, because you wouldn't know who, or why, it failed. At least now you can talk to those that vote nay and understand why they are doing so, and why they haven't brought it up.

Why are you using this vote as an example? I dont want to make voting for things like UH and OH votes secret, just votes for Candidates in Elections.

This is a back up in case the OA reform fails. Something like this would never work in an Open Assembly.

Oh, then I still see no reasons for this anyway, and I feel the others have said things better than I can at this time (I will probably respond or edit this later when I am not as tired)
