Damn election season, 16 more months. Everyone feels this way. Too much (time, focus-group marketing, whackos) and too little (intelligence, discussion, analysis, common sense). What to do?
I say set the election date using the daily lotto draw, the Pick-3. Forget the current 2 year and 4 year cycles. Every time triple zero comes up on the daily Pick-3 spin, the USA votes (that works out to an election every three years, more or less).
Now here's the good part: after the triple zero shows in the draw, candidates only get ten days of campaigning and then boom—a paid voting day holiday on day eleven.
The campaign season is short, officials never know when the upcoming election will be so they have to be working all the time, and if you vote for the guy who wins, you get a free lotto pick the next day. (That part is optional.)
What a plan.
