The Broken Electoral Process

The process by which the President of the U.S.A. is elected is broken. It is time for the Electoral College to be eliminated and for the people to elect the president directly. As it is not everybody's vote has the same weight. The way in which the primaries are carried out needs to be changed too. All primaries should be done on the same day. The nominees of both major parties are known before all primaries take place.  It should be made easier for citizens to vote. All citizens, including those from U.S. territories, should be eligible to vote. Many people feel that their votes do not count. It should be insured that the votes of all citizens carry the same weight. Voting regulations should be the same for all fifty states and the territories. Voting districts need to be fairly drawn too. Education of the voters is essential too. When we elect the President of the U.S.A. we are not electing the leader of the free world. We are electing the leader of the country with the largest prison population. The U.S.A. is an oligarchy with a corrupt political system. This has never been a democratic party. We need a strong liberal party. As it is we have a conservative party and a moderate party. I will keep crying out for revolution until it takes place.
