Troubles in America

One of the big issues in this country is that its divided into 50 states. The election process is a federal one and ought to be run under federal laws. We ought to have the same voting registration process for everyone. Eliminate these bigots who want to suppress votes.

Gerrymandering should be illegal. A federal system for boundaries would be better. Independently run. ANd perhaps decided more than once every 10 years?

Finally, the electoral college idea is defunct. Lets have a simple popular vote for POTUS?
