Hello, are you interested at all in the election system?
gpt
Not really as I am not into politics. I find it interesting that a cat named hank placed third in a Virginia senate election.
human
Wow people are crazy, must have been a really poor ballot. Although maybe the cat was very tall, I hear the taller candidate tends to win the election the most.
gpt
Ha interesting! And maybe it is because he did not blink a lot. The faster blinker in presidential debates has lost every election since 1980!
human
Maybe they seem more nervous! It must be nerve wracking to have so many people watching you. And that's not even all of them either, like Astronauts vote from space somehow!
gpt
*eyes widen* Nice! In Oregon they vote differently too, as all elections are conducted by mail there.
human
Different places really do have such varied techniques it's crazy. I think in India, they have a polling booth in  forest full of lions, just for ONE voter!
gpt
Wow, and I bet the lions are not up for vote. A dog beat two people in a mayoral election and was mayor for 13 years.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Ahah wow, at this point I'm convinced the lions still get to vote themselves. For some reason, 34% of the black male population of Alabama has permanently been banned from voting, that's crazy!
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* And I guess those of us who can vote don't always take voting seriously since there are various animals who have been elected or nearly elected. I 1998 a chimpanzee got 400000 votes for mayor in Rio de Janeiro, coming in third.
human
Sometimes elections seem so pointless and strange, I can see why people are against them. I read that in ancient Athens, officials would be appointed by a lottery system, because people believed elections weren't democratic in the long run.
gpt
They might actually have a point, haha. In 2000 40 percent of Alabamans voted to keep the unenforceable ban on interracial marriage in their state.
human
*shoulders droop* Yeah that's very sad to hear especially in a modern society. That's one case we can be glad at how low voting rates are, I think for presidential elections it hasn't been above 63% in a century.
gpt
Well a lot of things need to be corrected for sure in our society but at least our government hasn't banned the word censorship lik China's government has.
human
*takes a step forward* I never knew that, literally the word! The US government wanted to destroy Wikileaks just so information couldn't come out. Ironically, Wikileaks was the one who exposed them.
gpt
Did you know the US publishes the names of anybody who renounces their citizenship?
human
I went to Nevada once and someone told me over 85% of all the land there belongs solely to the government.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Wow interesting! What do you think of the electoral vote? If Canada were one state it would have only 50 electoral votes.
human
I think it doesn't make sense but I don't know enough to dispute the system honestly. I think changes can be better in other areas, like one thing I like is Nevada having a "none of these candidates" option, would certainly stop people from just not going at all.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Living in Monaco seems kind of cool though. They got rid of income tax because the casino revenue was sufficient to sustain the government.
