... if everyone eligible to vote received a transferable voucher conferring the right to vote. Everyone who legally owns a voucher would have the legal right to sell the voucher. Someone who legally owns many vouchers would have many votes. Many people who are eligible to vote but choose to not vote would probably sell their vouchers.

1. OMFG you want to give the rich the ability to buy votes directly?
Isn't pouring unlimited amounts of money into anonymous advertising close enough for you?

2. That would certainly make it easier for the rich to dominate us.
And it would improve TV how?

3. Tax the purchase of a voucher and use the revenue for educational TV.
If people cannot buy vouchers, then they use TV to influence voters.
