Improving the U.S. Election Process

What improvements would you make to the United States election process?

• Instant runoffs?
• NOTA (None of the Above)?
• Proportional Representation?
• Equal Ballot Access?

If you are from another country, what aspects of your election system would you like the United States to adopt?

Sincerely,

The Beauty of Political Simulations

Political simulations (sims) are both learning tools and tools of experimentation. They are online role playing games that give you the opportunity to:

• debate issues,
• analyze issues (if you are an elected official in the sim) and
• build coalitions.

However, these sims also give you the opportunity to experiment with different existing political paradigms or entirely new paradigms. For example,

• instant runoffs and proportional representation.
• equal ballot access for third parties.
• What if there were regional councils, for example, the North Atlantic States Council, the MidWest Council?

Political simulations offer a wealth of possibilities. They represent monarchies, democracies, parliamentary forms of governments, and combinations of these.

Sincerely,

Alan Cohen
