The Federal Elections Review Commission would analyze concerns about voter registration, ballot access and design, and operations of polling sites in order to ensure voters are not disenfranchised. The Commission would also be charged with studying proposals for a national, uniform poll closing time to prevent media distortions of elections. If there's one thing the American people can agree on, it's the deplorable behavior of the media on election night. Besides these micro-level issues, the Federal Elections Review Commission would review the more systemic issue of whether the competition Americans so prize in the private sector flourishes in the electoral arena. The Commission would review the history of presidential debates, and the role of the private Commission on Presidential Debates, to determine whether or how more voices could be included.
Democracy occasionally needs to be rejuvenated.
Given traditionally low voter turnout in the United States and issues surrounding the current election, this may be one of those times. I believe a Federal Elections Review Commission would provide a step toward the necessary healing. All Rights Reserved.
