| The least objectionable of all the choices. How about we found a state where being born does not automatically grant someone membership. It has to be a conscious choice to join with an explicit social contract that limits government. |

| We need to kill the electoral college and add a Constitutional Right to Vote. Approval voting for all single-winner elections and Proportional Representation for Congress. Check out http://www.electionmethods.org/ |
| LenKen | permission to vote granted posting completion of an 'issues related' educational class or some such thing(forcing people to be aware of the various topics, angles, reasons etc)
| I agree that the electoral college has got to go, but enforced voting of all citizens is a very bad idea—far too many people are ignorant of the issues . . . and a lot of people are just plain stupid. |

| (a) must vote, can vote to abstain, but must vote. (b.i) priority voting, ie. 1st priority counts as 1, 2nd priority as 0.5, 3rd priority as 0.25 (b.ii) if the first priority candidate isn't successful, then lesser priority choice will have the full vote |
