Reply #9: We just don't have a good voting system

[scottxyz]

This whole primary system where they pick off candidates one by one isn't the right way to go.

We should let all the candidates campaign a longer time, instead of this sequentialized series of state primaries.

Or let NY and CA hold their primaries first. I'm sick of NH and IA running the country.

Check out "approval voting". It's a system where you pick more than one candidate you "approve" of. Lets a few people vote for Nader as well as voting for Kerry.

It's been mathematically proven that when there's more than one candidate for an office, a simple yes/no vote is NOT democratic.

Meanwhile, we aren't even able to talk about having a more accurate voting system. We're stuck just begging Congress to require Diebold not to mangle our votes.
