We had some really good comments about the negative voting system that reveals several problems so take a look at this system and tell me what you think.
In this new system.
A voter has one vote.
That vote can be cast for or against a candidate or none of the above.
If the voter votes for a candidate, that candidate gets one positive vote
If the voter votes against a candidate, that candidate gets one negative vote
If the voter votes none of the above, all candidates get a negative vote
The winning candidate has the highest vote total or the least negative.
Where the current system only allow voters the option to say yes, this system allows voters to say yes or no to one candidate or say no to all candidates. Also, it offers more incentive to get the 80 million non-voters voting. And it sends a message to candidates that they need to get away from negative campaigning and do a better job of selling themselves to voters if they want to earn their vote. While others systems pay homage to democracy. This system makes voting an important part of our democracy.
