"Imagine the drama we would have had in the Perot, Bush, Clinton election that was referred to recently by Rob Lanphier. Any one of the three would have had enough assets to make either of the others the winner. That's a lot of political leverage! No responsible representative should or would back down until he had exacted enough real or symbolic concessions to take the edge off any supposed "mandate" of the eventual victor." Imagine the "drama" we'd have had if every voter who listened to his radio show turrned over all the assets to Rush Limbaugh. I want a solid "chain of evidence" from how my vote was ultimately counted back to what I wrote on my ballot. I couldn't stand proxys when I held stock in specific companies because the "vote for proxy" thing meant any coalition of bad minorities could make my position irrelevant. (See all the shareholder lawsuits against BODs who promoted themselves as proxies if you think I'm the only one who thinks that doesn't work...)
