Election+Reform

Election Reform Elections have gotten very out of hand in the past couple years, with negative ads, campaign funding, and "donations" by certain companies to the candidates that they want to win. This is why the Ecocrats would enforce a very strict budget on all campaigns. The maximum amount that can be raised is 50 million dollars. This is very reasonable, considering that Obama raised over 700 million dollars during the 2008 election, and will force candidates to spend more time thinking about how to spend their money and less time fundraising to get it. Also, The electoral college will be slightly modified. If a candidate wins the majority of the votes for a state, he or she does not get all of that state's votes. Instead, he gets a percentage, based on the amount of people who voted for the candidate. Every other candidate will also receive votes for the percentage of votes from that state that they garnered. If the percentage of votes from that state would equate to less than one electoral college vote, that candidate is not given a vote, and the vote is instead given to the candidate who got the most votes in that state. These additions to the election process will make everything much more fair, and truly elect the people's choice.
