I'm not talking about a separate election, but a separate poll voting on the same issues as the enrolled at the same time.<BR/>The reason for this is the enrolled are not likely to include the data of dis-enrolled people, but you can, showing a more accurate reflection of the total tribe.<BR/>Your combined data will be more accurate if it reflects the votes of those who lawfully should be included, but weren't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-23113940692631054242009-01-31T22:46:00.000-05:002009-01-31T22:46:00.000-05:00January 31, 2009 11:32 am Anonymous, I like the id...January 31, 2009 11:32 am Anonymous, I like the idea. <BR/>Let’s generate some chatter about this idea. <BR/>Do you all see it as just a defiant effort that would have little results?
