Brings out the Maryiannne Williamson's and Viveks out there. It's like a political industrial complex-sells books. Election season should last 60 days with the parties picking the candidates. Primaries restricted to the house and local issues. It's been getting stupid for too long.
We’re being played. It can stop if we want it. Imagine all the vitriol that would disappear if there’s nothing to be gained. Election season should start 60 days before the election with no advertising allowed.
You can't do anything about the length of the campaign. Those who want to be President are free to campaign whenever they want. As for voting...early voting and mail in balloting are invitations to voter fraud. They should both be outlawed. And as for counting the votes...that's where much of the skulduggery occurs so you're not gonna be seeing any Rats wanting changes there.
So is Baseball Season
And Football Season
And Basketball Season.
Basically - anything that additional money can be made from by extending it beyond what a reasonable person would expect.
Your presidency assessment should take place every day, then ascribed to the permanent record once every four years.
Elections should be held on Election Day PERIOD.
Why? History has shown that expediency and speed have never been good for stable governments.
I might agree but 60 days out is insufficient. The democrats plan to have Saddam Hussein elections for the future.
That is where you get to vote for Saddam or you get to vote for Saddam.
See, that solves the whole problem of electioneering.
Folks,
Everything has pros and cons. We all want a magic bullet to fix things. Now why does this author want a short election season like England? Has it worked that well there? Do you think the deep state wants us thinking?
A longer election does allow more discussions of the issues. Look how long it has taken for us to change things. We have made some amazing advances.
The current short cycle with Kamala entering late shows that a far left woke candidate can pretend to be moderate for 60-90 days. A longer cycle gives opportunity for exposure.
But a short cycle would be great with weekly 3-hour debates to expose the positions of the candidates.
We need to conduct our elections like they do in France with paper ballots cast on a single day, verification to vote with an official ID, no mail in ballots , no electronic voting and no direct electronic tabulation of initial votes.
