Election Reforms from the Poobah

Here is how I would fix the electoral system in this country.

1. NO ONE could make campaign contributions to anyone.

2. NO candidates could run TV, radio, or newspaper ads.

3. Campaigning would be reduced to public appearances and the actual news coverage that accompanied them.

4. Every candidate would be given the same amount of money to use for travel, etc. for their campaigns.

5. Independent auditors would keep track of all this.

Take the money out of the electoral process and you clean it up almost instantly.
