The US system is a source a bewilderment to the rest of us.

Sorry, we accidentally released a beta democracy into production.

Planned changes include:

  • bugfix: remove unneeded electoral college (slows progress down)
  • bugfix: replace current hard-set limit on House with dynamic value that grows with population
  • feat: add protection for voting rights to system firmware/constitution (current piecemeal legislative approach is difficult to optimize)
  • bugfix: set polling location availability by population density, not population wealth
  • feat: implement ranked-choice election system (deprecates first-past-the-post)
  • feat: implement consequences for criminal actions taken by people who are white and conservative

Unfortunately, these changes are not yet available, but these and more will become possible to implement if we fucking vote like our country depends on it at every level.
