How to Vote
Doing Away With the Electorial College
One man, one vote ... but the vote doesn't have to be binary. We have the technology now to use a more useful and expressive way to vote, the Condorcet System, also described on this page. Those two pages describe the Condorcet System well enough that I don't need to elaborate on it, nor add why I think it should be adopted.
But I will anyway.
This country has been dominated by two parties who don't represent the opinions of the people -- neither the people of their parties nor the people in general. Condorcet takes power away from the two major parties and divides it more fairly, more accurately expressing the beliefs of minority parties, such as that to which I now belong, the Libertarian Party.

If we have the technology we must still be able to rig the elections.
