When Kerry gets into office he should propose an election reform bill |
|
That does the following:
1. Mandates a paper trail for voting machines, and also requires FEC officials to meet with Diebold officials to moniter their activities
2. Lowers the individual hard money limit back down to $1000 and keeps it at that limit as inflation passes by.
3. Curtail, maybe even outlaw gerrymandering. There might be another SCOTUS case over this, but I believe prohibiting gerrymandering is a worthy cause.
4. Although I doubt Kerry could or would pass this: Abolish the electoral college and have elections by popular vote. Use IRV or some sort of run off to determine the winner.

4. While I agree with the principles, I don't trust the reform to the DLC. |

It would be analagous to convicted felons reforming prison sentencing guidelines.
