Two meta-points ...

One of the surprises-that-shouldn't-have-been in this election was the voter turnout: an historic low at 58% nationally. I allowed myself to hope that people - particularly students - would turn up in the light of the Middle East protests and Mercer's goading rant.

And by gosh and by golly I do love our voting system: paper, pencil, box. A half-hour of counting by impartial paid and very partial volunteer staff ... and presto. No machines; no contracts; no consultants. I loves me some technology and am thrilled by data munging and visualization tools. But I am equally enamoured of things which are almost unbreakably simple.
