Yeah seriously, *a lot* needs to be done to improve the election system.
January: Mandatory, everyone must vote. Everyone has to file taxes every stinking year. Why not mandate that everyone must vote? Turkey (the nation) already has a similar law on the books. When a cantidate is elected, you know (s)he earned it.
Sub-item: Enable online elections. Make it easy to vote.
February: Roll-over election numbers. If there are more than 2 cantidates, voters have the option to "rank" the cantidates... 100% of their vote goes to their #1 pick. If that cantidate isn't one of the top contenders, then 100% of their vote goes to the #2 pick, etc etc.
And yeah, contribution reform and lobbyist reform would be pretty high up on the schedule as well.
