Election Reforms?

People have long thought of various reforms to elections, mostly involving financial reforms.  I have other ideas.

Financial
Financial reforms usually involve limiting the donations to some arbitrary maximum.  I think organizations have vested interests in elections, and should be included in the process.  But I do think they should only be allowed to donate the same amount per individual as I can donate myself to any campaign.  An organization with 100 members can donate 100X the limit imposed on any one of them individually.  However, the members being counted must be registered voters in order to be counted among those.

Voter ID
Voter fraud is real.  Pretending it is not is detrimental to the process.  'One man one vote' is a principle we have had in this country from its inception, and this should be maintained.  Requiring a voter to present identification is neither racist, nor disenfranchising.  In this day and age when a proper ID is needed for so many daily activities, and obtaining an ID is a simple process, it is reasonable to ask voters to obtain such an ID.

Allowing early voting 30 days or more in advance of election day is even more reason for controlling the single vote per voter rule.  The availability of US Mail, internet and drop in voting makes it more difficult to prevent fraud.

Media Bias
The media are supposed to be the nations watch dog.  They are the people tasked with learning the truth about the government, events and people.  Investigating the people running for office, asking proper questions of them, and following up on the answers, is their job.  They need to do it.  People are consumers of what the media publishes.  Investigating the investigators is how we ensure the accuracy and efficacy of that news.  Voters must relay on the information about candidates in order to make the best possible choice of placing their votes.

Regardless of your political affiliation or position on any issue before us, we must make informed decisions.  Allowing the rules of elections and campaigning to influence that process poisons the process.  We cannot allow politicians, who have much to gain or lose from our votes, to have undue influence in how the votes are collected and counted.
