ShortKing Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Allowing non-citizens to vote, and maybe a compulsory voting law? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timur Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 - Separate elections for President and Vice President - Separate elections for Cabinet (like they do in the states, make it national) if possible - End all elections - Change how Congress/State Legislatures is/are elected (e.g. MMP, PR) if possible - Change how Governors are elected (e.g. Ranked Choice) if possible - Jungle/Blanket primaries - Ranked choice option for primaries (this was IRL in the 2020 Democratic Iowa Primary) - Candidate runs for VP nomination (like in the older nominations, e.g. 1860) - Abolish voting age - Anybody old enough to hold a crayon can vote (Official Monster Raving Loony Party proposal) OR Lower the voting age to 5 (Vermin Supreme) - All EVs are Proportional instead of WTA - Bayh-Cellar Amendment - Primaries or Caucuses? Will delegates be awarded proportionally, winner-take-all, winner-take most, will they vote who they want, etc. - Make territories count in national elections - Voting rights for AI - Voting machines or Paper ballots? - Ban Write-in votes/Make all write-in votes count/Make only write-in votes for registered candidates count - Congress chooses President 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewyoung123 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 - Only property owners can vote (no distinction with race or gender. You own property, you can vote. If you don't, you can't). - Change states in Presidential elections from "winner takes all" to "winner in districts" like currently exist in NE and ME (basically, it's by Congressional district), and the person that wins the state overall gets the extra 2 electoral votes. - Ban the Red Party (not sure it can be done) - Ban the Blue Party (not sure it can be done) - Allow territories to vote for President 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can both benefit and hurt your own party to pass this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 So this is part election, part alternate states. But are the regions (for region bonuses) for states outside of the real 50 set up? I'm mostly thinking Brazil, Centralamerica, the Philippines and so on On a related note to that, since I've seen the regional map, I want to make a suggestion: Take Hawaii out of West Coast, Alaska out of Mountains, put them both in a region called "Pacific" along with Guam and other pacific islands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vols21 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 1). Term Limits for Congress. (6 year and 12 year options) tbis was passed by several states in the 90’s but eventually overturned by Supreme Court saying it could only be done by Amendment so to replicate this, you could add Congress Term Limits as a Gov Actions, which could trigger a potential Supreme Court Case. could add the Virginia Plan as part of the original Constitutional Convention which included term limits for Representatives 2). In the early years (until around mid to late 1800’s when railroad and other modes of transportation made it easier to travel to capital), 1/3 to half of Congress turned over each election (many didn’t run again and several Senators would resign mid term because they were away from home too long). Most the Long serving members of Congress took breaks between stints. to capture this trend with some accuracy, could game make each re-election after the first one progressively more difficult for this time period (re-election penalty) and then switch over to the more modern re-election bonus after that? I think it does this for President (and maybe Governor) already. Could use Civil War era as the dividing line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
