| Comment : | SUPPORT FOR IMPROVED VOTING SYSTEMS:
The "plurality" voting system predominantly used in the USA at present (in which a "vote" is the "name of a single candidate") is well known to be severely flawed, and this has been known since the 1780s.
For that reason, many people would like to see it replaced by a superior
system. Other systems have been and are being used in various locations
in the USA and abroad, and are wholy constitutional.
Predominant among the superior systems is "range voting" where your vote is a "numerical score from 0 to 99 awarded to each candidate" for
example a range vote might be "Kerry=99, Bush=0, Nader=99, Badnarik=37".
The email bulletin board
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/
is devoted to range voting and click on the "related link" near the bottom
of that page to be brought to an educational and advocacy site for range voting. | |
