They're addressed based on what our mortgage says, doesn't seem to be related to our affiliation with either party

If I ever lost my entire ass mind and ran for president one of my policy goals would be to shorten the election season to 90 days before the election, so we don't have to deal with this shit for a whole goddamn year or more.
They do that in many European countries. E.g. you are allowed to hang election posters of a certain size in public lamp posts exactly 4 weeks before the election and they must be taken down no later than 1 week after the election. Fines are heavy.
Also, in many European countries, political ads on TV are banned.
I’m a fan of “everyone votes on the same day” instead of this primary game
I've avoided going to the movies because I saw a line at the box office. I'm assuming others would treat voting in a similar way. Give people time and options.
Sure. Make voting all week long.
Don’t count votes till the end.
Bingo bango.
I mail mine in. My state send mail in ballots to everyone in the state. It’s awesome!
Yep, and I would prefer that polls stay open until 75% of eligible voters cast a ballot.
The problem here is that would require forced voting otherwise how would you determine the %
Take the number of ballots cast and divide by the number of voters on the rolls. It wouldn’t be hard or require forced voting, and I think establish a quorum for elections would make them more legitimate.
And what happens if there is a low voter turnout and 75% is never met?
You could do it in two rounds, a bit like french parliamentary elections. The first round would just serve to gauge candidates general popularity while the second round would be the actual primary.
