Good evening again, Steve! Steven Thompson wrote to Lowell C. Savage...

I'm wondering, honestly, just how 'honest' elections, even local elections, really are anyway. Lowell made some remarks earlier on that elections should be viewed in much the same way as lotteries are viewed; and I have to disagree. I know, I raised the bait to some extent here when I wrote what the 'odds' might really be for a string of events occuring all at the same time. When I wrote that however, it was not intended to be identified with a lottery event, but rather trying very hard to define the probabilities of certain circumstances happening, all at the same time, in a local election in District 1, in Idaho. I probably should have guessed that Lowell would raise the bar and compare the results with a state lottery or something along these lines. The difference here is that political choices require, yes, a choice. It's not a random gamble. The answer, on the ballot, is supposed to be, or at least entail, a principled 'choice' on political alternatives. When such choices are so equally divided as they were in Bonner County, that leave a lot of open questions, some of which I have entertained earlier tonight.
