But for our next State election up here in NSW Premier Bob Carr is
considering having us write with hanging chads in the dubious hope that this
will get him over the line.

Yours in despair,

No - pairing is a time honoured technique within parliaments - why not
use it outside.
Or, better still, adopt the Australian system - a national electoral
body organising compulsory voting on a Saturday with full preferential
voting. Then you can really lodge a protest vote knowing that it will
flow through to a major party.
Forcing people to vote in the US - that should go down well :)

(And we still use paper and pencil, just like Russian astronauts. It
works, even in VERY complex elections).
