Bombing Iran's Nuclear Power Plant? Get Real!

Here we go again! The stupidity of this maladministration is getting worse. This is not something to be done lightly. Thereโ€™s a lot more danger in blowing up something nuclear. Well, it seems that way

What is the election process in your country?

In Denmark, 1-2 weeks before election day, each voter receives a physical token in the mail proving they are eligible to vote.

To make sure everyone gets the chance to vote, the state sends out an SMS to everyone that the elections are on Tuesday.

We then bring the token to the voting hall, and a volunteer ensures that the token is listed on the voter roll.

Finally we get the ballot and for privacy, we vote inside a box the size of a phone booth.
