March 27th, 2008On March 27, U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) addressed the Florida State Senate. He chose to use his speech to advocate for several election law changes. Concerning the presidential primary process, he proposed a national agreement for rotating regional primaries. He also again advocated that the Democratic National Committee agree to seat half of Florida’s delegation.
Concerning the electoral college, he seemed to endorse the National Popular Vote Plan for ending the possibility that the person who places 2nd in the national popular vote could still be declared the winner.
He also advocated no-excuse absentee voting, mail voting, and experimentation with internet voting.

It is basically nice to see someone in Wash. D.C. talk about election law reforms in public.
Yet, I am leery about the NPV thigie without IRV and wonder about ballot acess.
