1. checklist for all reform letters to critters
paper ballots,
hand counted,
precinct level,
many eyes,
election BOARD (never one sec. of state) , and
cash-free-campaigns.
--------------

--------------
This last point...cfc's: all media are required to give free space to candidates, in proportion to poll strength but with some extra given to small fringe candidates to "level things a bit".

IIRC this was/is done in Holland. Parties not allowed to spend ANY cash on ads. Ends the problem of PAC's and GOP advantage with billionaire cash.

Also; many eyes..I like having not only our people watch the counting but also foreign observers. Would get us some credibility overseas as "responsible adults".

Pls memorize these 6 points.
