ELECTION REFORM

 

 

 

In Order To Restore Faith, Feasibility, and The True Force of Democracy In Our Elections - our kind Crown Prince - James Ehrlichman Reinhard-Koenig The First - The Just and Most Awesome - of The Royal House of Handsomocity - relays to us the following necessary reforms - reforms righteous, wise and true - upon his ascension to the American Throne - all of which are a cornerstone of good will and common sense and exhibit most profoundly the patriarchal prowess of Manly Leadership.

​

​

1

COATTAILS

​​

​

No one should be elected on the basis of party affiliation alone and no candidate should be elected on the coattails of another. Let each candidate be elected on their own merits, their own views and their own policy initiatives. 

 

American Elections are to be divided into three simple categories - Local, State and Federal.

​

Local elections will cover city, township, parish and county elections and all affairs, offices and positions of local effect and authority. 

​

State Elections will cover the state - all affairs and offices thereof - i.e. governor, state legislators, judges, etc. or any other issue or office to be enforced or have authority statewide.  

​

The Federal Elections will be for Federal Office - The House, The Senate and The White House.   

​

This simple reform will give the People a ballot with greater focus on candidates and issues that are native to their jurisdiction. In this way, no local, state or federal candidate or issue will be confused with candidates and issues of other jurisdictions. There will be no rank-choice voting on the local, state or federal level.    

​​​

SCHEDULE OF ELECTIONS

​

​

Local, state and federal elections will be separated by a period of NO LESS than 90 days. The Federal Election will take precedence over Local and State Elections and the scheduled day of a Federal Election shall be the schedule marker for the date of local and state elections. No primary election - Local, State or Federal - may occur on the same day or on the same ballot or within two months of any other election.  

​

Elections will occur in the order of Local, State and Federal contests. No local or state election may follow a Federal Election for a period of three months and may not occur before the Presidential Inauguration or the swearing in of Congress.    

​

Federal Election Day will henceforth fall on the fourth Friday of November. 

There will be no early voting

There will be no mail-in voting. 

Polls will open at 6am and close at 8pm local time.

 ​

​

 3

RUNOFF ELECTIONS

​

​

We can no longer allow third party candidates to dictate election results by spoiler effect. 

Two weeks after the Federal Election, a Run-Off election will be held between the top two candidates. Polls will open at 6am and close at 8pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.   

All votes are to be counted and certified by the appropriate state authority no later than the following Friday of the Run-Off election.  

​​

Run-Off Elections will also be held at the Local and State level one week after the first Election. 

     

 4

ELECTORS AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

​

​

Electors of any state must represent the majority of that state and not the majority of any other state or several states combined. However, states may divide their electors by percentage if they so desire, but only by percentages that have occurred in their respective state. As such, all electors must faithfully represent the voters of their state. 

 

 

5​​

ABSENTEE VOTING

 

 

No American ballot - whether local, state or federal - will ever be mailed to a foreign country or through the mails of a foreign land. Those living abroad will receive a ballot at the local American embassy and the ballot will be cast at the local American embassy on the same day it is received. No blank ballot will leave the embassy. All ballots will be transferred to the United States for counting via diplomatic pouch and the diplomatic pouch shall not be opened until its arrival at the proper place for ballot counting which will take place somewhere around twenty miles due north of beautiful Belle Forche, South Dakota.

​

​

The U.S. Military shall continue with elections as per current policy. However, all ballots of overseas service members will be transported back to the United States mainland for counting via the Military Airlift Command which shall deliver said ballots twenty miles due north of beautiful Belle Forche, South Dakota. A landing strip for such purpose shall be constructed twenty miles due north of beautiful Belle Forche, South Dakota.

POLLING PLACES​

​

Only four places will suffice as proper locations for a polling station - a local public school, a local public library, a United States Post Office or a Local, State or Federal Courthouse. Courthouses may not be polling places for elections that are not part of their jurisdiction. Local Courthouses will serve for Local elections, State Courthouses for State Elections and Federal Courthouses for Federal Elections.      

 

There will be NO drop boxes allowed.

There will be no online-voting ever allowed.

Appropriate official ID will be required to receive a ballot and ballots will be received only at proper polling places and only in the voters assigned district.  Only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in any local, state or federal election. 

​

Each voter will be assigned a voting precinct and will only be allowed to cast a ballot in the assigned voting precint. Assigned machines for each Precinct will be tested two weeks prior of any election. 

​

The voting machine in all elections shall be of the hybrid model and uniform across the nation. Paper trails are mandatory, and such paper trail is to be paved with paper ballots. 

​

​Only registered voters of a particular precinct will serve as Election Workers and Volunteers at their particular precinct and no one taking part in vote counting or election oversight may be paid by any individual or corporation, non-profit or otherwise but only by the local, state or federal government for which the election is taking place and where payment is due.

​

All Federal Ballots will be printed by the Federal Government and Uniform across The States.

​

All State Election Ballots will be printed by the State and Uniform Across all Counties, Parishes and Districts of that State.

 

All Local Election Ballots will be printed by Local Authority and will be uniform across the locality.

​

All ballots will be printed in English and only in English.  

​

​

REPEAL OF THE MOTOR VOTER ACT

​​

No Department of Motor Vehicles or Department Of Public Safety or any other state agency other than a local, state or federal courthouse or U.S. Post Office may register any voter or provide any form of voter registration. 

​

Voter registration must be completed ninety days before any election day. 

 

All courthouses and every branch of the U.S. Post Office will have a separate waiting line, a separate voter registration window and separate service department for voter registration and only voter registration. 

​

Valid Proof Of Citizenship will be required. 

​

Voting is both a right and a duty, the seriousness of which is conveyed when the task of registration cannot be combined with any other task for the mere ease of convenience.

RESTORATION OF VOTING RIGHTS

​​

No one convicted of a felony may vote until an equal time of sentence has passed after original sentence has been completed in full. The time of original sentence will not decrease due to early release, good behavior or parole. No felon convicted of any sexual offense, kidnapping, child abuse, elder abuse, or domestic abuse or for any crime that results in the loss of life or bodily harm or threat thereof, shall have the right to vote restored and neither shall a felon convicted of robbery, burglary or of any other felony with aggravating circumstances have the right to vote restored nor for any crime committed with any type of weapon, firearm or any felony violation of state or federal firearms law. This shall in no way imply any eventual restoration of the right to bear arms for any convicted felon.
