How Do We Elect our Leaders? How Do We Select the Right Candidates? How Do We Protect Ourselves?
Divide the nation into 6 regional voting districts during the primaries. Each of the candidates will campaign and debate in each of the 6 regional district for 30 days. After the 30 days of debating and campaigning are completed, the citizens of the 6 regional districts will vote to choose their respective political party candidate. All campaigns will start no earlier than one year prior to the next general elections.
Every 4 year cycle, each of the 6 regional voting districts will rotate the voting order of the regional district. This will ensure a fresh and different perspective in the will of the people in the selecting of candidates in the primary elections.
It is time we take a look at capping the number of people, each Member of the House of Representatives represents. Adding a cap on the number of people represented will call for an increase the number of Members in the House of Representatives. Instead of states losing seats in the Halls of Congress, as populations shift, but increase, based on the cap in proportional representation, states will only need to add new Members to the House of Representatives.
A winner-take-all scenario in the general election has proven to be an Achilles Heel to a shifting population. Candidates are focusing on winning key states, thus not campaigning in the smaller states or spending little, if no time in particular states. It is time we take a look at the “electoral college” and figure out a way to best represent the will of the people.
Corporations, Unions, and the Citizens will be able to donate a “capped” amount of dollars during the “primary only” campaign of an individual seeking their respective parties’ nomination for the general election.
All candidates in the general election will receive an “equal capped” amount of federal funded tax dollars to run their campaigns for the general elections. No monies received in the primary elections will be used for the general elections. All monies not used in the primary elections will be used to fund the general election, to be divided evenly among the candidates.
The day of the general election needs to be a federal holiday, whereas all voting citizens will be able to have the day off with pay to exercise their right to vote! Since October has no significant federal holiday, it may be best to move the general election to the last Tuesday of the month. All voting stations will be monitored by federal election officials to ensure no voters are disenfranchised in exercising their right to vote. Each party, who has a candidate in the general election will also need to be present at each voting station to be equally represented and shall receive a stipend for the work. The monies for the stipend will come from the kitty of the “primary elections.”
It is the duty of the voters to get out there and exercise their right to vote. With a federal holiday to get out the vote, the nation should receive at least a 90 percent voter turnout! The people will no longer have an excuse to say, “my vote does not count.” Voter turnout is the key to the integrity and the prosperity of the nation as a whole. “We the People.”
