Ballotball is the game of elections—a game of thrones we play to determine who sits in government and who sits on the sidelines. Sometimes the game is played competitively, and sometimes it is rigged. In many cases, corruption, lack of a real choice, or political repression ensure that the game's final score looks more like a Harlem Globetrotters match than an NBA game.
For this reason, ballotball is not synonymous with democracy. Lots of elections occur in representative liberal democracies, but they also happen in China, Iran, and North Korea. So, ballotball.com will cover the game the whether its fair or foul. From the U.S. Presidential elections in 2016 (aka Ballot Bowl MMXVI) to international contests happening every day. We will also travel back in time in the Ballotball Classic! section to remember important games from yesteryear—games which inform how we play today. Through interviews, articles, podcasts, and interactive games, Ballotball.com will cover a world that has fallen in love with voting and discover what, if anything, that says about us. Now that we have that covered, there is only one more thing to say.
Game on.
