In Brief -- Workable Online Voting

21st Century Voting -- Easy, Meaningful and Comprehensive

For this proposal's long version with all the details, read this.


* Wanna vote?  Go online, watch a video on a random issue, comment, rank, vote.  Vote on as many issue videos as you want.

* You receive a confirmation for each vote.

* The website's raw data is analyzed by several polling firms that, using census and socio-economic data, generate constituent opinion on each issue.  Firm results are averaged.

* Your congressional representative can cite constituent opinion when voting, or during an election can pledge to abide by it.

* Any representatives who don't reflect their constituent opinion are liable to be defeated in the next election.  Voters become better educated.  Topics expand from an initial 1-2-3 to cover every policy question.

* Unless voters opt out, they're signed up for a lottery that pays out ten $10,000 voting incentives (savings bonds) per congressional district.  Annual cost: $523 million.

This isn't voting you say?  But it makes the act itself part of a much larger process that is the political hive mind.
