Vladivostok, Russia
A youth organization invented a new way of voting.
They hung large portraits of famous political figures on a wall of the shooting range. Whoever gets less hits becomes a winner.
There were portraits of Osama bin Laden, Garry Kasparov (Bill Maher's favorite), Jewish oligarch Boris Berezovsky, Estonian PM Anus Unzip, and TV star Xenia Sobchak.
TV star got most of hits ;-)
A bright idea, isn't it?

They used paintballs, for better counting.

Its certainly different - wonder if some brave (and now no longer with us) idealist put up Putin's pic as well?
Replace the bullets with dog droppings and slindshots and we could be on a winner - who wouldn't like to smear some dog doo-doo on their least favourite politician...........
Something for all sides to agree on?

The only way to improve it would be to use the candidates themselves. I really want to win this election.

No it is a stupid idea.
It encourages people to think of people that they do not like as targets for assassination.
