that 1 person, 1 vote. For president, just count total votes for each candidate from all states. Most votes gets to be president. This eliminates the effect of gerrymandering,
vote rigging, what have you. Same should be true for State wide offices (Gov., Lt. Gov, etc.). It becomes nearly impossible to BUY the vote all over the country.
We should also severely limit the amount of donations that are allowed for any candidate.
That way, more HONEST people might just get elected. We might even end up with a really good democratic government!
