The big problem is: Stupid votes for them, so yes, it is Representation.
I’m a strong believer that we need voting reforms, including elimination of mail in ballots except for special cases, mandatory voter ID, paper ballots (Unless a more tamper proof method is identified), one single day for voting, in which a national holiday is given so no one has an excuse to miss voting, surveillance video of the counting process available for crowd sourcing, poll watchers and legal representation during counting, free from their presence being denied, and a robust means of rapidly addressing disputes and claims of fraud.
I’m also a strong believer that anyone who opposes controlling potential sources of fraud in the election process is an absolute idiotic moron that should be banned from voting in future elections.
Makes my Teeth hurt!
We wont be saving England a third time…It’s up to them….
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWmerica!
It is a hard job, pun intended.
This is not without precedent. In 2011 a local retail business in Washington, D.C. got into a big tax mess with the city (D.C.), not the IRS. As the case worked forward, the business went into receivership and the District had to take it over from the delinquent owner. The city also had to keep it running while they ran the business, because if they closed the business it would lose all value and the city would not be able to sell it at a level sufficient to cover the tax debt.

When your national flag becomes a symbol of resistance, you’re living under some form of tyranny
So true!
but try doing that to my daughter 
Only 16. Plenty more in him, I’m sure.
Agreed. I would amend that mail-in ballots only be allowed for PROVEN special cases.
I would also suggest that a legally defined and enforced campaign season be established, say 60 days ending 1 week before election day. If you can’t get your message across in 60 days–you don’t have a message.
Edited to belatedly add: No person holding dual citizenship may run for federal office. Divided loyalties and whatnot.
I agree except (for clarification sake) electronic voting systems are easier to hack than paper results. I go to the Defcon hacking conference in Vegas every year and they have a Voter Hacking village. They’ll actually help you hack a machine step by step. Granted, walk in voters can’t perform these hacks on election day but the turds running the system can do so in the comfort of the after hours counting. If we go full electronic voting (not the counting machines but the voting selection process), they can run a simple program to take an election. All voting counting machines need to be audited each time to ensure they haven’t been modified to steal an election that way as well. P.S. Defcon never advocates breaking the law and the Feds are there every year. Most of us push for finding weaknesses to protect the innocent, not attack them.
