Electoral Reform (Politics - A Modesto Proposalo)

by edlohi@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eddie '/Hi There!'/ Lowther) Jun 8, 2004 at 04:55 PM

Hi, folks! This message was brought to you from "Concerned Citizens for
Concerned Citizens, Inner Clockwork Orange Division of Citizens"!! Be
kind.

Item: Modern (USAian) Politics uses "The Electoral System" in which each
of 50 states plus i dunno, nonstates like Pago-Pago, Guam, U.S. Virgin
Airways
Hawaii, and The Isle of Wight, takes its votes and dumps them down into:

The Electoral College:  Supposedly, nonparisans who, upon hearing the
results
of a popular vote, mark on an ACT/SAT like test and send all the votes, 
collapsed into integers, on to Congress to decide who is President and
Vice.

Each state, to be fair population-wise in a democratic but republican with
central banking and vast television audience, gets 2 to 30 'Electoral
Votes', 
so if you live in RHODE ISLAND, which has a population of 1000, your vote
counts as 3/1000, or zero.  HOWEVER, if you live in CALI-FONIA, which has
a population (voting) of 2,777,329, your vote counts as 34/277329, or
zero.

Item: Television, Attack "Comparitive Critique" Ads, and Brain Voting
Zombies
seem to make voting all "Negative" these days.

Enter the complex numbers!  Hold on to your hats, major parties.  You are
campaigning negatively.  Therefore with the following revol^H&^H&H&^H FORM
the Electoral College vote-representers are thus given the option to
use some JUDGEMENT on the "Type" of "Victory" you made in popular, uh, 
populations.  Here's an hypothetical example for New Jersey, home of "the
Boss".

Popular vote:  Rep - 45,000  Dem - 37,500  Green: 700  NDP: 650 
               Bull Moose: 500   Librarian: 65   Gazpachio: 5
Note the hyphens!  That's the point!

Since Reps and Dems are really being negative at this point, the votes
only
count against the other.  This is eminently fair.  Now the EColi has to
revise its figures to decide how many of, say, 15 votes they give the NJ
voters in the National pool.

ComplexNumbervote:  Rep: 7500,  Dem: Zero,  Green 700, NDP 650 etc. Entire
pool is now 9420.  Divide by this and allocate the 15 votes fairly.

Rep: 11  (Dem: 0) Green 1, NDP 1, Bull: Zero (can't do .7) and others zero
as
expected.  Sorry Gazpachio party! 

If some silly "Supreme Court", which I suspect is a group of OLD PEOPLE
objects to this, just point out that the MATHEMATICS used is tried and
true, a thing has been invented since they went through school called 
"New Math" and it's just peachy!

Cheers! And God Bless America!
