More from the elections

After I posted the last video with the ads from the national elections here in Israel, I got a mail from Joel Alan Katz of Religion and State in Israel saying that he and his wife had made a video of their voting experience this year. At the beginning of the video you see them each with their national ID cards and their voter registration cards. Then they go to the front desk where their names are checked off of the voter rolls. Each one takes their turn to go back behind the blind and then they come back out with their ballots in the little blue envelopes and put them in the ballot box.

Democracy in action, ladies and gentlemen.

For those of you tittering at how old fashioned this system is, I'd just like to point out that we have no questions as to whether or not the touch screens picked up the correct vote.

Thank you for sharing your video with us, Joel!
