My preferred method is to weight votes according to age: voters below, say, 30 would receive a more heavily weighted vote, voters 30 to 60 would get a less weighted vote, and those over 60 would retain their current single vote. For argument’s sake, you could multiply the vote of under-30s by 1.3 and that of 30- to 60-year-olds by 1.1. People’s ballot papers could be distinguished by colour – under-30s get blue, 30s to 60s green and oldies red – to make counting easier on election night.
Ahh yes. Three-fifths of a person. That’s always gone well.
Hell, there’s a sitting US Senator who’s brain dead and being propped up every few weeks for a photo op.
It couldn’t be much sillier than what we have now.
We do not have a US voting system . At all.
we do that in the Senate now
No we don’t. We do proportional representation (per state).
In each of the electorates, votes are weighted equally.
It’s only because of proportion of representatives per person in different states that someone’s vote is technically different.
