1907: Vote Machine
August 20, 2019
By AHNZ
Here’s an interesting bit of history about how the mechanics of voting work from 1907…
“This automatic voting machine, designed by Mr William Dall, was one of several different kinds produced in New Zealand in the early twentieth century. Citizens cast their votes either by depositing discs or manipulating a knob, handle or lever to indicate their preferred candidates.”- Auckland Research Centres; Facebook
Always remember, Anarchists, casting a vote always involves manipulating a knob.
Voting in elections is beneath your dignity. The ballot box is a suggestion box for slaves. Free your civic energy by not reducing it to a quanta of proxy you surrender to sociopaths!
