WRT will hold open free elections? or How the black man learned to read Chinese


Lord Kadizzle has been fighting with the local phone company to hold honest open elections for years. One of the things requested was voting by mail, normally this should be a simple process. With your phone bill you get a ballot, you fill it out and mail back the postage paid ballot. Pretty simple isn't it. However, it will be amazing if they actually make it work that way. More than likely you will have to take your passport to the phone company in Hazen, and have your fingerprints taken, then they will give a form which you will have to mail back, and then they will mail you a ballot. No one is running against their puppet Randy Christmann, so all of this isn't even necessary, but paranoia runs deep in this organization. Perhaps the snollygosters have someone else to protect.

It may turn out like the old elections in the south. In the old days the south came up with literacy test to keep black people from voting. One determined black man was determined to pass the test and vote. He studied day and night. On election day he went in to take his test. First the examiner asked him to say the Gettysburg Address backwards. To the amazement of the examiner he did. Next they asked him for the name of George Washington's horse. Again he got it right. After the examiner scratched his head he gave the black man a Chinese newspaper and told him to read it out loud. The black man took the newspaper and tried to read it. The poor fellow trying to vote said "I can't read the fine print, but I can see what the headline says". Astonished the examiner asked "What does the headline say?". The black man replied, "This is one black man that isn't going to vote this year".
