Electoral reform ideas

[Jake]

Gabu's proposal for a run-off style is very good. I still stand opposed to secret balloting because of how complicated we may have to make it to make it secure.

[Jake]

Don't come back with you rank all the candidates BS Hugh. If I think Dubya or Jesus is not worth my vote/preference, I should be allowed to deny it to them.

[Jake]

Preferential voting is the best system. It's the most democratic, it's very simple, etc. Add a secret ballot, and institute true preferential voting, and Atlasia has the best system of voting.

In your opinion. I see little reason why it is more democratic to force voters to vote for people they don't support.

Example:

Last election, there was no difference in my mind between Dubya/Donny and Jesus/Lewis. Having either ticket get elected would've been intolerable. I suppose if pushed, I would rate Joe/Defarge the slightest bit above horrible, but I still wouldn't want to vote for them.

Same for Senate. I was certainly not voting for an inactive candidate, even if the vote wasn't going to matter anyway.
