You Can't Make Mistakes.

Clap your hands for the President?

Earlier, I was explaining to Jeff the differences between the caucus system and the primary election system. His comment: “They need an applause-o-meter to count the size of the group.”

I think he is right. Modern technology shouldn’t replace systems like this: it should augment them. So, now that we have sophisticated noise-level monitoring devices, we should put them to good use and deploy them in the selection of out elected officials.

Imagine the possibilities. Someday, we can have a 100% voter turn out rate by simply having the entire nation clap their hands in response to the TV. We can monitor the noise of clapping hands in the same way that we already monitor people through covert domestic surveillance methods, et voila: presidential election.

Any suggestions for how we can streamline the electoral process in the United States?
