'procuration circle'

Geez, I was going to respond to Marek with some snarky nonsense about Frenchy crop circles but decided to err on the side of maturity instead.  But after reading this comment, I've gotta say, crop circles sound rather reality-based in comparison.

Have I told you how much I enjoy pie?

I don't know what the hell that's about.  I was trying to sympathize with you and your bizarro absentee voting rules...

"I like pie" is a way of ducking out of an argument, a flame war, a... pie fight.

I used it here in Drew's diary about smoking, to signify I wasn't going to get into an fight about smoking again.

I suppose redstar was just saying he wasn't into a debate about the merits or demerits of proxy or absentee voting systems...

Ditto to most of what afew said.

Apologize if I misread your comment. I did not take it as intended.

Thanks.  I had no interest in a pie fight...

How about calling it "vote by proxy"? Would that make it less weird?

In Spain, absentee voting is just postal voting. I actually liked it so much while I was in the US that I decided to register to vote by mail in the UK local elections, too.
