News: New site under development at iVoteSize.com!
Welcome to the home of vote sizing.
Please bear with us as we are in the middle of a huge revision.
We will continue to post new content while the old content is slowly updated.
Vote sizing is a concept almost 25 years ago when I, the founder of Vote Sizing Institute, tried to find a balance between input and output. Eventually he came to the conclusion that it is only possible with the use of computer technology, votes, and tax forms.
In the meantime, a lot of other ideas have sprung out of the movement.
Currently, the vote sizing team consists of a branch in Cartagena Colombia and Yaounde Cameroon.
It has been, and continues to be, a very uphill climb to persuade people that 1-person-1-vote is not the solution to all our problems - but a big problem in and of itself.
Please feel free to contribute to the site in the many ways we have tried to make possible.
Thanks for your time, enjoy!

Vote-sizing.
I like people who think out of the box and challenge the status-quo. People who put forward new ideas and to help mankind live better. But having read and listened to what Mr. Awambeng has to say, I think the idea is ludicrous and insane. ( I have the right to free speech).
If you claim that rich people should be striped of their most basic rights as citizens, you are putting them out of the politicali process and discouraging hard work. You say that poori people should have more votes than rich people, that means, only the poor should vote. Don't the rich people have a voice? They are the ones who run the economyi (private sector), they are entrepreneurs, governmenti policy affects them and their businesses. So should they not elect the government to which they pay the most taxes? Or how about , no vote, not taxes. If the rich don't vote, then let them not pay taxes too. How then do you run the economy and country?
You make your argument on the supposition that most rich people are corrupt. Well that is very inaccurate. There are hardworking men and women who earn money through legitimate means. Should they not have the right to vote? And how about a country where there are very few poor people? Countries that have very high per capita income. Should they not vote at all?
It is good to think but some thinking can only plunge people into a dark age.
That said, I laud you for that fact that you can summon the energy and resources to spread an idea. Maybe you should come up with something more meaningful that can be helpful to society. Educate people on the virtues of democracyi, campaign for human rights, or try some other thing. But not this idea that people should be penalized for working hard and making money.
Democracy and the voting exercise
Can you carryout some research, indepth research on why and what pushed our forefathers to think about democracyi and voting in the first place? I will give you some guidelines:
1) What pushed them to think about voting and democracy?
2) Who were those controlling back then and how was the exercise of voting and democracy going to affect their poweri?
3) Was voting meant to take away (deprive them of) power from some people (and if yes - who were they) and give (empower them) to other people (and if yes, - who were they)?
4) Was democracy and voting meant to give advantage to a group of people (if yes, who) and disadvantage to others (if yes - who)?
Thanks.
