Six changes I'd like to see to the electoral process:


Posted: May 16, 2016

1.  No organization of any kind other than a political party may contribute money or other valuable consideration to any political candidate.  This includes unions, businesses, religious organizations, nonprofits, etc.  No individual may contribute more than $1000 to any candidate.

2.  To limit the amount of money needed by candidates, radio and TV broadcasters, who make a bloody fortune by exploiting a national resource (the nation's airwaves), cannot charge for political messages.   They would be required to air a given number of messages spread equally among the candidates.  The FCC or another body would determine the rules.

3.  There would be one national primary election day, just as there is one national general election day.  Alternatively, there could be two primary election days.  Participation in the second election would be limited to the top three candidates from the first election.  Primaries would not be spread out over weeks and months, with voters in the later primaries being deprived of being able to vote for their candidate due to attrition.

4.  There would be no "secret" or "super" delegates to any party's convention.  Delegates would be apportioned strictly according to the votes of the electorate in the primary election.  Period!

5.  The electoral college would be eliminated.  The reason for its existence disappeared long ago.

6.  Presidential candidates must provide access to financial and tax records for at least 10 years, to their educational records including college and graduate school, must disclose any financial aid received and/or special considerations given, declarations of status made for the purpose of obtaining aid or special admission consideration, a complete health record including a recent comprehensive physical examination, and of course any involvement with the criminal justice system in any capacity.

The government and both parties are CORRUPT - No changes will be made

The lawmakers who make the laws have no interest in changing things because the system as it stands makes them rich and allows them to stay in office forever to take bribes that get them reelected and rich.

Where's #7 regarding other parties in the primary - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
IOW, those who are registered as other parties, such as independent, or "other" cannot vote in primaries. That should be changed. I agree that it's not fair that only 2 party registrants get to pick the future nominees.

I Hope Trump Gets Enough Electoral VotesOct 24, 2016
I see no purpose to the electoral college if we the people vote. It nearly cancels out the largest majority for whatever candidate wins. They have to have enough electoral votes. What I don't understand is does the one with the most electoral votes win even if they didn't get the most actual votes from the people? I say we need to do away with that and super packs and all else that causes one to buy an election. I think we should go back to paper ballots too. I am sick to death o ...

Electoral College Death Threats Won’t Be The Last Bid To Overturn The ElectionDec 16, 2016

GOP, Pointing To Big Virginia Losses, Discussing ProcessNov 07, 2013
"“Conventions by nature force candidates and campaigns to focus on a very small group of party activists,” said Phil Cox, executive director of the Republican Governors Association and a longtime Virginia-based strategist. He grimaced at the successful movement by conservative activists in his state earlier this year to switch from a primary system to a convention system. “If the goal is actually to win elections, holding more primaries would be a good start.” [Ah, and ...
