This might be a step in the general direction of national initiative, of greater citizen participation.
"Reform #16: Greater gender parity -- Lessons from legislatures with more women: Cynthia Terrell, Representation 2020."
This sounds like a question of whom to vote for (or what to aim for with reforms) more than how to design an election system.
"Reform #17: Fixing primaries by boosting turnout in a national primary: John Fortier, Bipartisan Policy Center."
A lot of these reforms could do some good, but in many cases would not be needed in combination with others. And some important reforms are missing. The package of reforms listed at the top of this article would give us free, fair, open, verifiable elections.
The tricky part is
that we won't have the resources to work for these reforms unless
people do something that I'll repeat here because it is nearly
incomprehensible to many: Boycott the presidential election of 2015-16.
Leave it alone. Don't fund it or promote it. Fund and work on real
activism instead.
