Make it harder and harder to vote, make people's votes less likely to have any impact, have two parties, all while rarely having candidates the any more than shills for the companies that sponsored them. It's like a perfect storm of terrible voter turnout, but not by chance, since people who have lived in the same place for 20 years and are old enough to easily take a day off are most likely republican.
Maybe voting shouldn't be a one day affair. Maybe it should go for an entire week. Maybe candidates should have a chance even without heavy corporate backing.
