Trump says, “We’re going back. No more mail-in ballots. Voting in-person only, under supervision, ballots counted before midnight when my win is announced to the country.”

A clever person immediately saw where this is going and quipped: “Now we’ll vote with clay tablets, pressing the cuneiform. For those who can’t write, pre-marked ballots are available at bargain prices.”

I felt this would be too exclusive, and too messy to count, even with gloves. I considered favoring the Athenian method, because, after all, those ancient Greeks claim to have given birth to democracy which we now pretend to espouse.

So we’ll gather those few hundred rich land owners, white men only, and have them cast their marbles, choice of two colors, into a receiving bowl, by sundown, easy to count before midnight.

But, unlike today, the one with the most marbles wins.
