"Four people, including justice of the peace, arrested on 150 counts of voter fraud."

DrRichard,

The history of the Nebraska unicameral offers some lessons. The change took place in 1934 during the Depression. A chief proponent, Republican Senator George W. Norris, criticized the bi-cameral system as inconsistent with ideals of American equality. He is quoted as saying,

"The constitutions of our various states are built upon the idea that there is but one class. If this be true, there is no sense or reason in having the same thing done twice, especially if it is to be done by two bodies of men elected in the same way and having the same jurisdiction."

There was also a clean government backdrop. The lore of the bi-cameral in Nebraska is that each chamber was controlled by one of the two railroads. Norris would have known this well as he came from a city very influenced by one of the railroads, including hosting the railroad's orchestra. The circumstances also hint at concerns over corruption with the help of political parties. The move to a non-partisan unicameral was not an accident.

djgilbert, I agree about Nebraska. What might work in the US is a non-partisian system of apportioning Congressional districts in each state, with (the Nebraska and Maine systems) electoral votes going to whichever candidate gets a pluraity of each district, plus the 2 senate electroral votes going to whoever gets a pluairty in the whole state. That would not abolish the electoral college but would make it more responsive to popular votes. Not likely to happen though....

Monarchies represent a continuation of a feudal era but are with us in much more than the British Royal Family. Several Western European countries have monarchies and layers of royalty such as dukes/duchesses, counts/countesses, etc. Interestingly enough, many of the former Soviet states have more completely shed royalty than the Western European democracies.

We should not forget that the workplace in all of these countries is by and large a feudal state. The operative term is CXX, starting with CEOs. Perhaps we should focus on democracy in the workplace rather than being distracted by interviews of royals.

In terms of the U.S. system, the modern scope and scale of government is far beyond the neo-monarchy of an elected president set up in the U.S. Constitution. A healthy dose of federalism is perhaps the only hope of saving the American experiment from fascism.

There are successful models such as the Swiss Federal Council, with an annually revolving presidency and members serving as liaisons to the major federal administrative departments. Using a regional approach of electing a non-partisan "Federal Council of the United States" by region for single terms may be worth considering. Members could be elected in a primary, top-two non-partisan election with a balanced proportional model.

In such a model, the Senate may not be needed. One State, Nebraska, managed to abandon the bi-cameral legislature so it is possible. Nebraska legislators are elected in a primary, top-two final election system to a non-partisan legislature. The legislature functions without political parties in committee assignments and seniority.

Apparently, nuance is not your strong point.

Hah! Mister Potato Head Tucker Carlson must be having a really bad life then as he sits around Fux "News" pontificating on the subject.

There is no "if" -- Republicans are guilty of voter suppression. The extensive factual history of red-state antics over several decades clearly demonstrates the absolute certainty of that.

Biden was elected despite the suppression efforts for at least three big reasons that come to mind: Because of the pandemic, more Democrats than Republicans voted by mail (A lot of the original suppression tactics targeted the act of voting in person at polling stations.); Democrats conducted massive get-out-the-vote campaigns to make sure that people were properly registered (Purging the names of likely Democratic voters off registration lists by the millions without good cause is perhaps Republican Secretaries of State's most egregious tactic.); Americans, in general, voted in overwhelming numbers in concert with Democrats because of their utter disgust with Trump and his all-out fascist inclinations.

The margin of victory would no doubt have been a helluva lot more than seven million had there been no suppression by Republicans, as you falsely imply.

Why do you think that freaked-out red-state legislators are now introducing an avalanche of new voter suppression laws (many restricting mail-in voting) using Trump's "Big Lie" as their phony excuse? And why are they so afraid of more people voting, making it harder to vote instead of easier?

Legend and cuz are absolutely correct that the U.S. should have "Compulsory Voting" like in Australia. We also need to get rid of the cumbersome, insane, and totally unnecessary Electoral College system, which is what Trump was abusing to overthrow our democracy. These and other critical reforms can happen when the demographics inevitably change the face of America, as alis volat points out.

If Republicans were guilty of voters suppression, Joe Biden would have never been elected President.

Whether tyrannical leaders cause mass targeted deaths, within their respective populations, by perpetrating ethnic cleansing, or genocide, and do so by acts of commission or omission; the outcomes fall into the same category i.e. "crimes against humanity." Widespread death does not have to be meted out publicly or savagely, to make it any less criminal. Malice, hatred, power-lust and a reckless disregard for human life, are the common denominators.
The actions of the Trump Administration, should be investigated to determine whether they amount to "genocide" or "crimes against humanity." The world waits. I make a prima facie case supporting the foregoing asssertion in my oped news article.
