Does my noble friend not realize that he has a problem with the language he is using? He spoke about ““allowing”” the voters to put an X. ““Allowing”” is strange language to use. They are going to force voters to vote a certain way or somehow they are invalid, undemocratic or they just do not count. ““Allowing the voters”” is strange to me.
