1. Wow ! this is what we need - 2-3 days of voting

Israel also has low turn out of voters for the one day of voting. We should also add a day to the voting schedule - maybe the statistics would be better.
2. He should have done ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.28.14)
... what Morsi did. Send people around to distribute, say, fifty piastres to each potential voter. They'll turn out in droves. Of course it would mean an illegal election, but the Moslem Brotherhood did it, and they insist they ran a perfectly legal and honest election. Yeah, right. Of course, it is also possible that the Moslem Brotherhood is using intimidation tactics to keep people from voting. Perhaps hanging a handful of the Brotherhood members who are under sentence of death might curb their enthusiasm. Now THAT would be legal. And there are 529 candidates from whom to choose.
