On Voting.
While it's probably clear to most anyone that our current voting system, from the electoral college (winner takes all) to the unequal house of reps (also favors the smaller pop states) to the Senate, are all flawed and don't provide proper representation (oh, and I'm sure the right will get on the fact that the Constitution requires one rep per 30k people... any day now) and allow the crazies to hold more power than they should.
Fair, but most first past the post elections tend to favor the 2 party system. Now, I've always been a proponent of ranked voting, but, apparently, there's a better way. Here. Approval voting, where you just vote for everyone you like. The person with the most votes still wins. I think that's fair. Will allow for a better way to break the 2 party stranglehold. Thoughts?
