  • No, because we already track if you vote or not. Here is an example procedure:

    1. Each time Agnes Nitt sends in her vote, we put the sealed envelope in the Agnes Nitt pile. This is what we do with or without repeat voting, because it is illegal for Agnes's vote to count twice - we must record that she voted!
    2. Each time Agnes Nitt sends in a new vote, we incinerate any envelopes in her pile (unread) and replace with the new one.
    3. When we hit count time, whatever envelope is in the Agnes Nitt pile is handed to the vote counters, in exactly the same fashion whether or not we have repeat voting.
  • That's not how this works. You're getting it backwards. Every time a red state forces blue residents to move to a blue state, they reduce the power of gerrymandering/the broken power of the electoral college, because that reduces the extent to which people are "represented" by reps who disagree with them. Do it enough and you'll shift whole.EC votes.

    Edit: this is supposed to be in reply to Beetschnapps. My comment keeps seeming to come out in reaponse to the wrong comment, very strange.

  • There are multiple kinds of ranked choice voting. The "popular" one in America right now is IRV, but you shouldn't assume all ranked choice voting algorithms are IRV and hence share its flaws (and benefits). My personal favorite RC algorithm is Ranked Pairs. I am not familiar with STAR.

  • You're missing some voting reform, but full props for putting voting reform at the top of the list.

    Some suggestions:

    1. Make voting day a national holiday.
    2. Make absentee voting without an excuse a national standard.
    3. Enable repeat voting where only your last vote "counts", allowing absentee voters to change their minds.
    4. Ban states from announcing vote totals until all votes are in, preventing people from voting with more knowledge than others.
    5. Make allowing people who have served their time in prison to vote a national standard.
    6. Overturn the recent SCOTUS ruling about the 14A actually applying to Federal office.
