Ranked choice would be better but it hides many of the problems in our current system as well.

Approval Voting would be a better system and could be implemented now on current voting machines. It also would encourage more positive campaigns and maximize voter expression. It is also much less confusing. You just count all the votes.

It isn't left out. Its just an explanatory clause that has been undertoon to not be a limitation.

Logically: If the right to bear arms is fundamentally connects to the right to rebel with those arms then destroying that right by allowing the government to define what a militia is makes absolutely no sense. And if one would claim that a militia is little more than people staying they are one then any individual or group could claim that. Lets say that was a limiting clause instead of a descriptive one. Who gets to decide how a militia is defined? The state? How can that possibly make sense? I have a hard time believing the founders were that blind to logic and history of this issue has agreed.

What are some top issues for Texas that you think are important and how could use the positions, working with a likely hostile R&D controlled legislature, to accomplish them?
