The whole electoral process needs work!

1. Publicly funded elections.
2. Shorter & clearly defined campaign periods.
3. Paper ballots for every voter, every election, & mandatory random audits.
4. Standardization of the voting process. Let the states control the process, but it shouldn't be easier to vote in Colorado than it is in South Carolina.

Do you have other ideas?

In CO, you can opt in to vote by mail for every election and we have early in-person voting, too. You can register to vote at the DMV or online anytime, & you can even register to vote on Election Day & vote. We have drop off boxes throughout the county, not just one. Our ballots are fed through an OCR scanner & tabulated electronically so we get results in a timely manner. And the SOS has an audit process to verify the tabulation of the vote is accurate. Seriously, if we can do it, the whole country can.
