Bad: Hillary vs Trump

Worse: Cruz vs Bernie

Evil: Bob vs Ted vs Alice vs Hashim vs Schlomo vs Ito Vs ..........

Majority of what? All voters, just the ones who voted, jst the ones who did not have their voting rights not denied, all voters who voted and were legally entitled to vote? Just those who voted on paper ballots, or online, or or or. Election reform should start with all votes in a Presidental Election being cast on the same type of system, with a fully auditable record, with randomn audits of entire precincts, full audits of precincts that have outlier characteristics. And much much more.

Elections without truly free speech are a sham. Should an individual care about a single issue enough to spend a great deal or small deal of money on trying to raise public awareness of it they should be allowed to.

By the way, it is a REPRESENTATIVE democracy. It even says it on the tin.
