Maybe some modification to the election process would be good...

Instead of the EC making the list of candidates and limiting to 2... change it to some form of "primary" within the districts. (yep... that would mean you would have to send 2 ballots in... and we can't get people to send one in now...) The nominees ALL being on the priary ballot if thy meet the requirements. (maybe 100 candidates... maybe just 1 or 2...) Then the top 2 from the primary being on the final ballot.

The changes wouldn't be worth much unless we got the members to actually send in ballots... and send them to the correct place.

Florida's infamous "Chad" fiasco is nothing compared to the percentage of ballots (out of those that do get sent...) we have sent to the wrong address when all you have to do is tear the thing off... make a check mark and drop it in the mail.

Maybe the premise behind the "Republic" was a better idea than some think... Average IQ = 100... 1/2 of all people don't have that high an IQ... (by definition)
