Building A Better Ballot Box




To The Best Of Our Knowledge show

Summary: How do we put the fairness and the fun back in American elections? In this hour, we present a few simple ideas for how to remake the electoral process. Some are small tweaks — like mandatory voting — that could make the whole system run more smoothly: Others may sound a little crazy, like letting 10-year-olds vote. Or creating a marketplace where people buy, sell and trade their votes. Or making election day a national holiday, with parades. And cake. **Guests: **<a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/carol-anderson" target="_blank">Carol Anderson</a>, <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/jason-brennan" target="_blank">Jason Brennan</a>, <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/pippa-norris" target="_blank">Pippa Norris</a>, <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/e-glen-weyl" target="_blank">E.
