1. Nationwide mail-in voting.

2. Instant dissolution of corporate charter, confiscation of all corporate assets, and five years' imprisonment for all officers, and any rank-and-file employee involved, for ANY business caught accepting, demanding or trading for goods or services their customers' blank ballots. (Does anyone think that if we had nationwide mail-in voting, we also wouldn't see the "finance for the unbanked" outfits like buy-here-pay-here car lots and payday loan sharks offer to erase people's late fees in exchange for their ballots?)

3. Public financing of all elections.

4. Restrict Campaign Season to the six weeks prior to election day.

6. Candidates must use public funding for their radio, television, newspaper and internet advertising and postage for mailed ads, and they'll be limited as to the amount they're allowed to run. They may seek donations to fund billboards, yard signs, bumper stickers, transit wraps, skywriting and towed banners, cards on shopping carts, handbills nailed to telephone poles, kiosks, bus stop ads or other posters.
