Endaweni yokuseka umda kwiminyaka elishumi, utshintsho olwenziwe kubalo lwabantu, ulungiso luya kuseta umda kwidatha yokuvota yokulinganisa i-avareji yevoti kwilizwe liphela ngaphezulu kwemijikelo yonyulo lowiso-mthetho.
Abaxhasi beDemokhrasi besilungiso bagcina ukuba iyakuqinisekisa ukuba izithili ezilishumi zomthetho ziya kukhuphisana, zona ke zibe negalelo ekuvunyweni okuphezulu kwabavoti. Kodwa abachasi beRiphabhlikhi baphikisa ukuba inokujongela phantsi idemokhrasi ngokuzivalela ngokungenasiphelo kwizikhundla eziphambili zeDemokhrasi kuzo zombini izindlu zomthetho.
Isilungiso esicetywayo saziswa ngexesha apho iNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-U.S ithathela ingqalelo ityala elinokuchaphazela ukuhlengahlengiswa kwemithetho yelizwe, kodwa ngendlela eyahlukileyo.
Iindlela ezahlukileyo zala manyathelo mabini zinokungqubana ngexesha elizayo, kuxhomekeke kwisiphumo sombuzo wokuvota kunye nesigqibo senkundla ephakamileyo.
Kwikholamu epapashwe yiPolitickerNJ ngoJuni, ndibhale malunga nenkundla yeNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-US egama lingu-Evenwell no-Abbott.
Elo tyala licelomngeni kwindlela yezithili ze-senate ezithathwa eTexas zisebenzisa ulwazi lobalo luka-2010. Amagosa aseTexas alandela isiko ngokuthembela kubemi bebonke.
Kodwa uSue Evenwell kunye no-Edwin Pfenninger bayibiza le ndlela ngokungekho sikweni, besithi ukuphinda umda kusekwe kubemi bebonke behlisa ivoti yabo.
Bathetha ukuba ukuphinda umda kulungiselelwe ukuba kusekwe kuluntu olufanelekileyo lokuvota (VEP) kunokuba kubemi bonke.
Abamangali bathi iivoti zabantu kwizithili ezinamanani amakhulu abavoti abangafanelekanga (ubukhulu becala, abantu abangengabo abemi kunye nabantwana) zibala ngaphezulu kunezo zabavoti kwizithili ezinabavoti abafanelekileyo.
Ikholamu yangaphambili yaqukumbela ukuba ukuba inkundla ifumene i-Evenwell, izithili ezisezidolophini zaseNew Jersey kuya kufuneka zongeze abavoti abafanelekileyo ngelixa izithili zedolophu kunye neendawo zasemaphandleni kuya kufuneka zinikezele ngabavoti abafanelekileyo.
Ngamanye amagama, izithili ezisezidolophini zinokuthatha abavoti abazimeleyo nabaseRiphabhlikhi ngelixa izithili zedolophu nezasemaphandleni zinokuthatha abanye abavoti beDemokhrasi.
Isigqibo sika-Evenwell esinokubangela ukuba unyulo lukarhulumente lukhuphisane ngakumbi. Amagqwetha olungiso lomgaqo-siseko we-NJ enza ingxoxo efanayo.
Kodwa ukubanakho kwesigwebo senkundla ephakamileyo esivuna u-Evenwell kubonakala ngathi amagama asezantsi anikwe isiHlomelo seShumi elinesine kuMgaqo-siseko wase-U.S. ICandelo II lithi Abameli bayakwabiwa phakathi kwamazwe aliqela ngokwamanani abo, kubalwa inani labantu elizweni ngalinye, ngaphandle kwamaIndiya angahlawulwanga rhafu.
Eli candelo lingasentla libhekisa ngqo ekumisweni ngokutsha kwezithili, kwaye hayi ngqo kwindlela eziza kwabiwa ngayo izithili ezisemthethweni.
Nangona kunjalo, amathuba okuba iNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-US izakuqhubeka nokusebenzisa indlela yabemi echaziweyo kwi-14thUhlengahlengiso kumthetho wokumiswa ngokutsha komthetho kunye nokwala umceli mngeni wase-Evenwell.
Kwimeko apho iNkundla ifumanela ukuba u-Evenwell asebenzise umgaqo osemthethweni kunye nabavoti be-NJ bayasamkela isilungiso somgaqo-siseko esicetywayo, ukumiswa ngokutsha kuya kuba ngumdlalo onomdla wokuba iNdlu yoWiso-mthetho isombulule.
Kwimeko nayiphi na into, ukuphindaphinda ngokukhawuleza ngokukhawuleza kuye kwaba yimixholo. Iya kuba ngakumbi ezingqondweni zabavoti kulo nyaka uzayo.
Ukuba iziphumo kukhetho olusemthethweni olunokhuphiswano, lunokuqhubela phambili umdla wabavoti, ukubala kunye nenkcitho yenkcitho.
