Yes. The voting system belongs to the people and we need to give it more consideration. There is no need to rush. We are now aware of the possible inaccuracies — whatever about leprechauns — and the question of reliability. I always felt the system would fail on grounds of secrecy in view of the Supreme Court ruling of 1972 in the case of McMahon v. the Attorney General. I respectfully suggest that the Leader consider accepting the amendment.
