A better voting algorithm for a better democracy: allow more than one vote per person. This eliminates numerous problems with today's one-vote-per-person. It's simple (no voter confusion) and results in better outcomes.

No you should get just one vote, but dole out any number of fractions of it to whomever you wish as long as the total is 1.

If only the general population understood fractions :-)


The whole point of the alternative I link to is that it's simple. If you like the Democrats _and_ the Green Party, you can now vote for both. This prevents the Green Party from "stealing" Democratic votes.

Because of our the current poorly-designed system, we have an artificially low number of votes for non-Democrat and non-Republican parties.
