This suck ass. I just want it over. And I want a constitutional amendment to make it one 6 year term and done – like Mexico.
Edit - I’m nauseous too. My wife has literally taken a Valium.

Thanks. My disdain for spectator sports knows no boundaries, even international.

Corporate sponsored polling places would be the 'mer’can way…

I still went in to a polling place, chatted with people, and spent my time in a little booth. It was different in certain details, but overall pretty much the same action.

I think it would be tough to do in practice.
I’m not as big a fan of major changes in our election system, other than changes which make voting easier. The system is choked with inertia, which I like; it makes it harder for something like Brexit, where something critical can go from whimsy to implemented in the blink of an eye.

Nothing like casting your electronic vote at your local Comcast™ Polling Place.

Then would you be happy if your taxes had to help subsidize California ballots?

Yep. I’d certainly be happy to use my taxes to help, say, Texas have the amount of polling stations it needs.
But I think you could set up a federal funding system for the federal elections and if states wanted to add local initiatives to the ballot they could find the additional funding themselves.

Contributing a few bucks to make sure no one has undue burdens on their ability to cast a vote would be much better than the high incarceration rates I’m currently subsidizing in predominantly southern states.

I see many folks echoing your thoughts, but I’m still engulfed in a cloud of dread…

I don’t mind that, but I don’t see how to avoid unintended consequences. For example, many states (including mine) try very hard to combine elections and by elections as much as possible to save money. I could imagine without such a restriction some important but boring offices or initiatives being teased out of the regular ballot to a special election where turnout would be low…by design.

To ensure full democratic access? Any right-thinking American would.

No, I was asking if @daneel would be happy seeing his money used for the nimeity of “idiotic referenda” that dominate California ballots.
