VOTING REMOVAL: ‘Convoluted logic’
I recently read the editorial in The Press where the virtues of the new system set into place at Kootenai Health were extolled. In this system, no longer will the trustees be voted for, but rather appointed by an unnamed cabal. This was presented as a good thing and will be free from political bias. The alternative, that is, voting, is much too dangerous a route to continue. After all, the uninformed rabble may end up voting for the likes of Todd Banducci and his ilk and look what kind of disaster that has become.
We certainly can’t let people decide for themselves the leaders of their choosing. This kind of convoluted logic is what led the Supreme Court of Colorado and the Maine Secretary of State to remove Trump from their respective ballots. In classic Orwellian fashion, they declared that we must subvert democracy in order to save it. So here is a man, not convicted in any court of law, being barred from the election process at the whims of a few political apparatchiks.
