Professor thanks for taking the time. What do you think of this proposal for improving the election process and removing corruption:

1. compel "compact" congressional districts that must, as closely as possible, conform to county and city (town, village) limits

   • creed, race, etc "blind"
   • created by an independent citizens board

2. compel photo ID or fingerprint to prove residency in the political jurisdiction

3. compel "total elected limits" (I like 18 years of total elected office from dogcatcher to President)

4. compel removal of Party affiliation from ballots

5. compel spending limits of $1 per registered voter in the political jurisdiction (President = $400 million since 400 million in country, dogcatcher = maybe 3,000) ... regardless of source

6. compel complete transparency of the individuals behind a donation (regardless of front organization)

   • must be human (anti-Citizen's United people should love that)
   • must be citizens of the political jurisdiction (e.g. all State election money must come from citizens of the State)
   • must be disclosed in public media by recipient within 5 days of receipt or by election day whichever is earliest
   • any donations received that do not meet the above requirements go immediately to the US Treasury

7. compel "pro-rata" EC splits in ALL States

elections should be funded by a mass groundswell of support for the individual. Public funding creates the false impression of widespread support and in the long tradition of governments moving steadily toward pervasive corruption, also creates the potential for "selective" funding.
