	History of Vermont Voting Systems
		Vermont’s constitution has always required voters to "bring their votes for Governor, with the name fairly written." This language was the core of an early constitutional challenge to one of the early changes to our voting procedure.
		The same section of language was cited by the Vermont Supreme Court during the civil war to invalidate absentee voting by Vermont’s soldiers away at war, using the logic that "bring" is not the same thing as "send." In the twentieth century this has obviously been reversed.
		The biggest change to the procedure of voting in Vermont occurred at the end of the nineteenth century with the adoption of the "Australian ballot." Today the phrase "Australian ballot" is used to distinguish voting by a secret ballot as opposed to a face-to-face town meeting, but that is not what the term actually means.
