Republicans can hold ‘beauty contest’ primaries if they want, but the Part should hold caususes to determine who gets the delegates. That’s the only way the GOP can prevent the individual States from screwing with our nomination process.

As long as we get true Conservatives voting for a group that has true Conservatives in it, I’m okay with it.

I would encourage a one party swap limit per 12 month cycle too. This re-registering on a whim to play games is destructive.

Elections should be held on one 24 hour period. Set DC as ground zero. The general election starts in that time zone at 12:01am and runs until 12:00 that midnight.

People in the Central time zone would vote at 11:01pm until 11:00pm the next night.

Mountain time zone would vote from 10:01pm until the next night at 10:00pm.

Pacific time zome would vote from 9:01pm until the next night at 9:00pm.

People in Alaska, Hawaii, or anywhere else would start their election at the same moment as the people in Washington, D.C., and run their election for 24 hours.

I would also set up a rule that after every general election, all voters would lose their registration and have to re-register before the next election.

I believe it should also be required that the person registering, should have to go into the party headquarters of the party they wist to join, to complete the task.

Motor voter should be done away with.

I also believe that absentee ballots are subject to abuse. As much as possible, we should seek to make folks vote in person.

General elections come up every four years. Surely we can remain home on that specific date to do the deed. Otherwise the ballots can be jobbed by the left.

We need to tighten up the process, so that the left can’t screw with things. I think they screwed with things plenty this election, and we should put an end to it.

As for ACORN, they shouldn’t be registering anyone.
