If the states had respected the election process for president that the Founding States had enumerated in the Constitution, then perhaps the country would not be cursed with the major problem of unconstitutionally big federal government.
Citizens should be expected to guess who the current president is. Instead, low-information voters have unthinkingly turned the Oval Office into a throne room.
I have been through or voted in 15 presidential elections. The presence of TV, the internet, social networking and little credibility have totally changed the entire landscape. Seems like anyone can say anything regardless of whether it is true or not and there is no recourse.
We also had a lot more education about the government and the electoral process than my grandsons have in their classes now. Everyone I knew when I was a young adult voted because it was their duty and responsibility. Lot of people no longer vote because they think their vote will not matter.
They all need to be the same day...
at the assigned polling places using photo ID..
must be registered to vote with proof of American citizenship 30 days prior to election day...
and no mailing the ballot in unless the voter is in the military and stationed over seas...
9-9PM EST 8-8PM CST 7-7PM MST 6-6PM PST
For Alaska and Hawaii, the counting doesn’t start anywhere nor any results announced until the AK, HI polls close...
Gee that might mean midnight..
SOOOOOOOOOOOO ???
This plan for the primaries and the general in Nov...
I would be curious to replace them just once with a republic pure plan of simply electing our own elector, the best man/woman in our area, and sending that elector to a republican gathering and having those local folks all gather and nominate the best candidate to represent our nation.
It would be interesting to see what they came up with.
We could live without them, quite easily.
And we’d be a whole lot better off.
