Propose a new way for voting ( Say in elections) other than the traditional method (everybody equal right)?

Good point, and yet another flaw in our voting process. I would suggest that all voters would have to take a simple test, whether they understand the workings of our government (unbiased ?'s like "How many people on the Supreme Court", or "Name the governor of your state").\n\nTrouble is, voting tests are often associated with the biased "literacy tests" in the South, to make sure blacks couldn't vote. So this idea, while interesting, is unlikely to go anywhere for a while.

I do not like our current system. I feel that every single vote should be counted.

Yes.  Just let people give straight to candidates without the red tape.  If you look at the PACS, you will see they are paying out to half the legislature to buy support.  This is the opposite of reform.

I hope we are not from the same country but i guess we have the same problem. When the people in your community will come to realize that their votes during election is not for sale maybe something can be done. You can make a difference by starting to fight for a cause not for your own vested interest but for the people.

I agree with you.  We should create a system of computer voting on every issue.  The security technology exists (smart id cards etc.) to make it secure and verifiable and auditable.\nOpen Source would have to be used and strict rules would have to be used for how it is implemented and hosted, but I think it's possible, and I think it's a good idea.\n\nThis way we could get rid of (ban?) political parties, because the more independently people consider their votes the better the system will work.\n\nIt could be implemented step by step, initially just for opinion polling.

It's counted as a normal vote because it is a normal vote. It's just a different method of voting.

Well, let's use the fear of vote fraud to end machine politics.  When they have better voting systems, tie it to better registration procedures.  Eliminate the dead, the felons and the aliens.

Vote for people who will do something... in other words, vote for non-Republicans...

it's always best to rate each candidate individually.  The only advantage of voting a straight ticket is to avoid political gridlock.  \n\nBut, if quality people are elected from either party, then gridlock won't be a problem anyway.

Well, unfortunately i have no idea where u come from,  The only way is to have the Eu or USA or UN monitor the elections and then make sure that people were allowed to vote freely and w/o temptation.  IN the short run nothing ill change as far as corruption, but in the long run, things might change, give it time... thats the key

Vote regardless if it fixed or not because your expressing your approval or disapproval of the leading representing you. Your never gonna have 100% clean election with human error factored in. Gerrymandering is good way to fix a election to ensure you get reelected every-time, and computer crash could occur in 2006 but likely 90% of the election results will be clean. The Die-bold Machines only vote for Benedict Arnold like the Princeton study concluded but you should vote anyways because that is what democracy is about.

This is what I think should be done, we use the POPULAR vote to elect the president and in the event of a tie we use the electoral college to break the tie.

You shouldnt ask people what they are going to vote for, then that would mean that your vote wouldnt be from you. You should vote your yourself, and its not like one vote is going to make the world of difference anyway.

A combination. There are as many motivations for voting a certain way as there are people voting. Maybe more.

I haven't heard about this specifically, but in theory, I agree- it would just bring in uninformed voters. We need voters who have opinions that need to be heard; the payoff of voting is having someone in office to do the job correctly and get things done, what's a better incentive to vote than that?
