So tell me again... why is it that...

Canadians who wear coverings over their faces will not be required to remove them to vote if they swear a special oath to affirm their identity and eligibility, a spokesman for Elections Canada said on Tuesday.

"We offer them a choice," John Enright said of the administrative procedure, which has been in place without incident for the seven federal byelections held since September 2007.

"Should women wearing niqabs or burkas be required to show their face before voting?"
When's the last time you saw 50,000 plus votes in an online newspaper poll?

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"You really are being willfully obtuse. How is it that veil wearers are a "special subset"? Anyone can wear a veil."

"All Canadians have the right to cover their faces, and can still vote."
Well, Nonny... I know some folks who will be absolutely thrilled to hear the news...
