Questions about the voting system in USA

[WarLocke]

With the communications capabilities we now enjoy, it is time that we establish a system that is truly 1 person 1 vote.

Agreed. We could start with eliminating the whole elector crap.

Then maybe we can 'edumacate' the populace so they can start actually voting for the candidates that they like and/or feel would be best for the country, rather than staring stupidly at a ballot and thinking "Durr, I'm a Democrat, and Bubba Cleese's the Democratic candidate, so I'll vote for him! Hurr hurr!"

Ideally, at some point down the road, we'd have elections in which the candidates actually put forth their plans for the country and stuck to them (rather than simply pandering for money/votes), and a populace that voted based on a candidate's platform because they knew s/he would uphold it (and not simply because they share the same political party).

And hell, while I'm smoking the pipe dream, maybe someday we'll be rid of the whole political party nonsense, eh?
