    Let’s ne honest though, that’s not the real issue. The real issue is low info voters aren’t going to have a nuanced opinion like. It will be 0 or 10. All of the votes coming in like this will invalidate any consideration you spent some time working out to decide a 7.5 is the perfect representation of how you feel.

    Even more big picture. We are wasting our efforts arguing over the details of a voting system when voting reform isn’t even on the table.

      Yeah. For the reason I think each candidate should be given one page to explain their policy. And that page should be printed out and available to all voters.

      For mail in voters it should be included with their ballot.

      Far too often I’ve voted in local elections and tried to research the candidate just to find no information on any of them. It’s infuriating trying to make a choice when it’s impossible to know anything.

      Agreed. But we can dream.
