**Well, it seems a better system could be devised. Ours seems to work 
quite well. However, voting is compulsory over here. Which people really 
don't seem to mind too much. And, like the US, voting irregularities are 
virtually non-existent. That said, voting, in Australia, seems to be 
rather different to the US system. The 'Democracy sausage' is a common 
sight at most polling booths. Usually, the BBQ is operated by a 
charitable group, such as Rotary or The Lions and a nice time is had by 
most.
