In Reply to: Election Reform?... posted by dark_dave56 on May 28, 2021 at 06:32:07:
investigated election in our history, with many, many post-election studies--- and NO cases of any significance unearthed. NONE. ZERO. In a country this huge.Why are you fixated on this? Answer this, please. Why? What do you mean by "trainwreck of consistency?"
Eliminate Electoral College? Of course. That is an anomaly whose time has passed.
Campaign finance laws need to be completely changed to reduce funding, as much as is practicable: equal amount of airtime, for one. As it is, politicians have NO choice but to pander to those with the deepest pockets.
Citizen' United was a disaster for our country and drastically needs to be addressed. This editorial makes sense to me:
"The Watergate scandals of the early 1970s were followed by the landmark Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974. The new law included three fundamental ideas: full disclosure to eliminate secret money in elections, contribution limits to prevent corrupting political donations and public financing to provide a new way to finance presidential campaigns.
These reforms worked well for more than two decades. But the presidential public financing system eventually broke down when the costs of presidential campaigns dramatically increased and Congress failed to modernize the system."
