Absence of a Vote is Presence of a Vote. - Write In a Vote -- No Confidence

What if the Write In was structured to give it value and meaning was a voter expression of choice at the local level?

Found this after the blog entry"

Power of the Vote!

The GOP has been hijacked.  My politics are Progressive, I think that the GOP should make itself Great Again.  It went off course with the Southern Strategy.

If the hijacking wing of the GOP voted a Write IN named Jesus Christ there would not be the sad state of affairs we have today.  They marked the Ballot for Trump instead.

Really....In a Third Party splits the vote.  The Democrats would win.  Maybe JC would win by majority count???  !!!!

Just some some binary Presence/Absence theory to kick this blog entry off and see where it takes itself.

Computers because of one rule declaration:  A single thing called an electrical charge is either present or absent.  A One or a Zero.  A sequence spring of Ones and Zeros mean something like a string of words mean something or a string of sound waves mean something when the physical thing has associated conceptual symboled meaning.

It is stranger how the absence of something only has meaning in relationship to the presence of something.  Not so strange when we use that rule to create an Information Age that delivers cell phones and Netflix to us.

Natural Language is a code system.  Encode and Decode communication with syntax and semantics. We learned coding starting with ABC's. Semantics in context decodes ABC's to mean what we learned in grade school not all the other meanings it may have as a word and even more (632 million) in the various contexts it may relate to.

One thing.  Millions of ways to use it.  That is an example of object persistence compared to the vast number of ways it can be used and each way subject to change.  That is a One to Many relationship.

Our governance is based on presence/absence of a. Vote with a big V meaning that it has a unique definition related to its functionl use.  There are many ways to vote as an expression of choice.  The Google search term: "Vote with our" tells the number and the different ways of voting.  The word "Our" is plural.  The singular is "Your" or "Me".   Searching on the singular form "Vote with your"  gets different search results but only different based on singular instead of plural form.

"Vote With My"  returns 812,000 search results.

"Vote for" returns 127 million results.  Google can count faster that I can.

The absence of a Ballot Vote is a Vote
Casting the Ballot is a choice to vote for an individual candidate or measure.
Or not.
Or Write In

In the case of non-partisan position elections and there its only one candidate the only choice is to mark the block, not mark the block or Write In someone or some thing.  The Write In is an something outside the box of normal  election thinking and operation.

What if the Write In was structured to give it value and meaning was a voter expression of choice at the local level?
