I'd like to see one addition: taxpayer money cannot be used for campaigns. The president should not be permitted to use Air Force One to fly across the country to boost himself in the polls.

Voting is compulsory. No more bullshit, no more apathy. When faced with a decision like this, too many people choose not to choose, because it's the easiest way to do things.

...the hell? That's the whole "freedom to vote" thing, you know, which also includes deciding not to vote if you don't want to? You really think people would make the best decisions held at gunpoint?

You might view it as laziness, but some of us choose not to vote because we don't agree with any of the options given to us. Just as you have demostrated with this post, there are more ways to reform elections, and I think the main one is speaking your mind. Please don't force people to speak their minds in a way they do not desire. Some people who don't vote are just as active in reform as those that do.
