Election+Reform

=__**Election Reform**__=

The Amicus Party believes that elections should be fair, but also logical enough to filter out useless voters. We believe that counting votes should be done efficiently and effectively, while still appealing to the ethics of the people. A good leader should be chosen carefully in order to identify everything he or she believes. Voting rights should be available to everyone, no matter the age, race, ethnicity, or class. The president affects everybody, so everybody should have a voice in choosing that leader.

The Amicus Party fully supports the rights to vote for all. There is, however, a test one must take in order to be able to vote. This test assess the person's knowledge of basic government system. This assessment, only needed to be taken once, ensures that voters choose a canadite that they believe in, not by superficial publicity. With this system in place, leaders will be chosen based on the best intreats of the people.
 * Voting rights for all**

The most underestimated factor in elections is counting votes. The Amicus Party proposes a balance between simplicity and accuracy when counting votes. Our idea is to have each state, no matter the population, have at least five electoral votes. Electoral votes are then added on depending on the population. This allows larger states to have more of a voice, but not enough so to swallow up the smaller states. Electoral votes would round up the majority vote of the states into simpler, fewer numbers, but still maintaining accuracy when counting.
 * Efficient and Effective Counting System**

Any party running for president has unrestricted rights to publicity and advertisement. Money parties invest in broadcasting is up to them. On the other hand, public funding is restricted, limiting public and private donors to $1000 per year donating to a single campagn. This prevents affluent donors from donating ample amounts of money at a time. This keeps campaign is check from gaining unfair advantages over other campaigns.
