as your active protest vote FOR ELECTION REFORMS

against the Two-party Disaster and for Real Democracy:

 

April 20, 2019 update of

the Seven Principles of the Real Democracy Party (USA):

 

1)  All elections of legislators and executives shall include vote donation and coalition government or coalition party government, including the presidential electoral votes cast by each and all of the states' presidential electors in the Electoral College; in the alternative, all ballots shall enable Rank Choice Voting for all legislative and executive offices on the federal, state and municipal levels.

 

2)  Every citizen shall be registered to vote at birth and remain registered and eligible and registered throughout their lifetime subject only to accurate records for changes of address and voting districts or absentee voting categories. 

 

3)  All voter identification requirements shall be provided by the state and federal governments to each voter.  Any federal or state voter identification cards, photographs, certifications or documents shall be paid for by the government agency.

 

4)  Gerrymandering of districts or designing voting districts in any manner intended to capture party votes or enclose an identified demographic group or predicted voting pattern shall be illegal.  Any form of voter suppression shall be illegal, including any unreasonable application or identification requirement imposed upon a citizen.  There shall be severe felony penalties for any act of gerrymandering, election manipulation or voter suppression, including but not limited to incarceration without parole and monetary fines imposed on individuals and election authorities where the crime occurred. Based on the protected rights enumerated in the Fifth Amendment, no citizen shall be denied voter registration, except by a court of competent jurisdiction by issuing the proper public judicial notices and orders not less than fifteen days prior to the next election. No ballot cast shall be disqualified, voided or removed except by a court of competent jurisdiction by issuing the proper public judicial notices and orders.

 

Citation:  U.S.A. Constitution Amendment 5:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

 

 

5)  The communications and recording technology for elections shall be publicly owned or in the public domain and shall be as advanced as that used for space exploration systems or free market financial transactions (credit cards and ATM cards).

 

6)  At each election each voter shall be provided with a paper print out of the votes that they have cast at that election, if requested.  A nominal fee may be charged. 

 

7-a) There shall be a National Elections Commission (NELC), subject at least in part to local and state committee review, that shall have the power to monitor and recommend elections technology and elections management and supervision.  The National Elections Commission shall have the power of investigation and indictment for election authority crimes.  The NELC shall be assigned the duty to recommend elections technology and procedures to all election authorities in all states, municipalities, counties and other election districts. 

 

 

 

7-b)  A new elections system, however designed, shall always provide for direct implementation of the will of the people through the elections process.  This means that if the voters lean to the left, their votes shall benefit the left-leaning candidates and implement public policies and laws that lean to the left, and if the voters lean to the right, their votes shall benefit the right-leaning candidates and implement public policies and laws that lean to the right.

 

7-c)  A voter who registers as a party member shall have surrendered their right to a secret ballot and made their vote public rather than secret or private; their ballot with all of the votes entered shall be a public document.

 

7-d)  A “ballot” shall be a single vote for a single elective office.  A sheet, screen or list of more than one elective offices to vote for shall not be deemed to be a single ballot.  Example:  if six offices are listed on a sheet, screen or table, that document shall constitute six distinctly separate ballots and disqualification of one ballot due to a mark added or missing mark, or any other issue in the way that the vote was entered, shall not cause disqualification of any of the other ballots included on said sheet, screen or table.

 

7-e)  The Congress shall pass a law establishing obligatory voting, a law that will impose a small but reasonable fine on a citizen eligible to vote but who chooses not to vote.  The operating legal concept is that voting is the minimum of civic participation that is required in order to maintain a republican form of government, which is guaranteed by the federal government to every member state.
