Pressure-Free Voting

Elections in the Baha'i Faith do not involve campaigning or nominations, street money or political ads. People just vote their conscience without discussing the matter. But could that ever be possible in "the real world"? One blogger, referring to one campaign in the current democratic primary elections, writes:

"They've been able to largely ignore the hysterical punditry, who shouldn't have any role in the Democratic nomination process." (My emphasis.)

Hmm. Sounds like the beginnings of a sea change.
