Elections Blog

Now days campaigns and elections are quite an affair. They cost millions of dollars and can stretch painstakingly long periods of time. I for one, would make the process go much faster, I feel the process should take no longer than two months, none of this six or seven month, start campaigning primaries in like January and wait until November for the actual election. Secondly, the government is struggling enough, I believe most of the campaign finances should come from primarily public or private donations. Therefore, I would not put a cap. Now I understand that by doing this a chain reaction would occur and perhaps the richest president would make it over the most qualified. But hey, America sometimes votes based on other factors rather than true, quality and experience, more so than they wish to admit, so we may as well save a few dollars in the government. Finally, elections should be completely private. I personally don't really like the idea of a caucus. I believe all votes should be truly in a booth, alone that way all votes are truly heard.
