Increase the voter turnout:?

In addition to the fact that such a law is unconstitutional and could only have a chance if it came about through a ratified Constitutional Amendment (which would never pass).  It would likely demonstrate that un-a-lined voters out numbered members of the two major parties.\n\nIf ever enacted it could have an unexpected result, that is, the same number of people who don’t vote today say, “I still won’t vote, come and get me.”  \n\nIt might be a better idea to give people some reason to want to vote.  Say, by adding something interesting to the ballot.  As. . . . . the final line for each elective office have it say, “None of the above.” And have that line able to win.  That would mean that some elective office could end up with no office holder until a new election were held.  That could mean that the candidates would have to actual, and honestly, serve the electorate.

Voter turnout has never been especially strong anywhere in the USA.  We as a people simply take for granted that things will go all right, or that our one vote does not make much or any difference overall.\n\nThis is all right as long as things are going along all right.  But it is possible for someone to manipulate the system, and forge a change that is not in the best interest of the citizens, but is in the best interests of the one getting elected by the small minority that are voting.\n\nEven something as simple as being elected to a school board wields tremendous control and power.  Think of the money under their control, and the influence.  So there is no such thing as a small candidate, or small position.  Every leader makes a difference.  Every person counts.  Every vote counts.

You can't !!! You don't have the financial resources plus the fact that the government controls almost every aspect of our lives in one way or another. If you want things to improve you must VOTE and encourage all your friends to VOTE as well.

Already did!  My daughter and I (she is only 5, but I always bring her with me so she sees how important it is to vote) went at 6:45am, and were number 77 at our polling place.\n\nI was disappointed that more people weren't in line...hopefully it will pick up and more people will turn out to vote.  I don't care which party you belong to, or who you vote for, just VOTE!!!

Don't confuse the vocal minority, with the silent majority. The vocal minority is loud, but that doesnt mean they can produce more votes in an election.

Write a petition, get everybody to sign it, and send it to your congressman.  LOL - a lot of good it would do.

I agree 100% with you, but lets take it one step further. In libraries and community building machines like automatic teller machines could be placed and from time ballot was printed till 8 o'clock election day you could enter your voting card get paper ballot an envelope vote at your leisure put it into envelope, and with magmatic voting card deposited it to be collected and counted election night. This would end 3 hour time problem. Biggest problem would setting up system to prevent counterfeit collection boxes from being put into system, but with GPA tracking it could be overcome. Primaries could also be done this way if you were allowed to pick you party day you voted.

There is one thing for  sure. There should always be a paper vote. There is no way to verify results without one.  Do not use a ballot with chads, just a plain piece of paper. with a hole punched in it. That eliminates the BS we all suffered during the 2000 election. Next, the ballots should be counted right there,  With representatives from both parties present. Not allowed by law to be moved. And finally, All voters must present a voter I.D. That would resolve most voter fraud.

We need to wake up ourselves, and we need to get involved with our government. More people need to send letters to their represenatives with their worries and communities need to rally and show their government, OUR government, that we have more important issues in this country than tax cuts and banning gay marriage(which I am against). The people need to get involved. Vote! Rally! Write letters! Show that we're involved and that we need a government for the people, by the people like our Constitution says, not rich senators and represenatives concerned with popularity.

We can make more of an impact by speaking our minds to our lawmakers!\n\n\nhttp://judiciary.senate.gov/press.cfm

This is just as important to vote Tuesday as in the presidential elections.  We need to have people who are capable of watching our backs at the government level.  I want them to show up for work and be able to make a honest- not political- decision on how things should be for the good of all not just a few.

Ah, the perfect idea to acheive a change.  Why not vote for a third party just to show them exactly how many votes they lost?
