I, too, have been following the dialogue about the
election, electoral college, etc with interest. It seems to me, that as I
read about how the electoral college came to be that it is a good process.
I don't think that it should be tinkered with.
I do believe however, that more uniformity needs to
be found in the election process. This would include better use of
technology, very simple and clear ballots (maybe standardized nationally) and
better training of election judges. When coupled with more consistent
information being available as to where to vote we should be able to assure the
voter and the candidates of a democratic process.
It is true that there will always be someone who
'doesn't get it' no matter what is done but it is clear that much improvement is
possible.
I think we can start right here at home by being
sure that every voting place in our area is set up with helpful people, clear
process and then lobby our state and national legislators to work at their
levels for the same thing.
Who is in charge of training our election judges,
getting information out etc. I know that the judges at my polling place
said they were short of people for judges. I plan to get involved.
How about the rest of you? Will you help too?
