        Reform #1: Automatic voter registration. When you turn 18, you should be automatically registered to vote. That's the law in 8 states.

        Election Day should be a designated national holiday for people to vote so they don't miss work. Either that or hold voting on Saturdays

        Reform #2: Vote By Mail. It's the law now in 3 states. In Oregon it has helped created 70.4% voter turnout - far above the national average

        Agree 100%. In Australia not only is it vote by mail but there is a fine levied for not voting. It's literally your ONE job in a democracy.

        Reform #3: Either make election days national holidays or put them on the weekend. This is the standard around the world.

        Weekend doesn't help service, retail workers who wouldn't be able to get a Sat/Sun off. Should be mail in ballots.

        Reform #4: Restore the voting rights of all former prisoners. They've served their time. Removing their voting rights is preposterous.

        I totally agree with this. Once you've served your time you should not lose your right to vote. No ones vote should be taken when a citizen

        Reform #5: Abolish the Electoral College. Nobody should be elected President of the United States if they lost by 3 million votes - period.

        Really is disgusting that people from Puerto Rico and American Samoa can die for our country but can't choose their commander-in-chief

        Also, it is ridiculous that California has 40 million people and has 2 Senators & Wyoming has 600,000 people with the same number.

        A very real scenario exists in which Trump loses by 5-10 million votes, loses a few states he won last time, and STILL wins the election.
