Voting
Eric Alterman has a brief op-ed piece by Steven Hill and Rob Richie on his site about full (or proportional) representation as opposed to our system of winner take all districts. Its pretty interesting and I agree with the notion that the way elections are run in the this country ought to be changed. However, I really don't think that there is any hope of this happening. Electoral reforms don't really capture the imagination of the public and very little progress has been made in this area since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The fact that we still have the electoral college around does not bode well for the cause of election reform.
