It appears…The best way to fix U.S. election is to follow the legal route actually. It’s called redistricting (done every ten years). It basically means that a voting district is redrawn every then year. The catch is this: The redraw is often done according to party structures; because incumbent politicians can influence “political consultants” (who draw the districts) in how they draw the districts; in political science that’s called incumbent protection policy. Basically it means that the incumbent politician, with lobbyists, can asks the drawer to draw such a district where the politician cannot loose (i.e. in California the price was approximately 20.000 a piece). Hence, the Center of Voting Democracy can predict the outcome of an election without even having to know who the runners are, months in advance, and they are usually 99% correct. Whoooooa!

This might be common knowledge among the political scientists, but my direct source here is Steven Hill (center for Voting and Democracy). Listen to a great presentation here: http://www.forum-network.org/wgbh/forum.php?lecture_id=1128

Yes but Tom Delay wont be available for the Gerrymandering!
