As it stands, the American people get one vote. The maxim "one dollar, one vote" doesn't ring as true as it may seem even while taking into consideration the Citizens United decision. Corporations and Super PACs aren't voting at all they are simply swaying public opinion through the media.

Going with "one person, one vote" and corporate personhood, maybe it should be legislated that corporations actually do get a vote, just one actual ballot that they, each corporation, gets to cast as a citizen. Such a thing sounds absurd given that the proposition before us is to refuse corporations the right to spend unlimited amounts of money toward a political campaign; however, there might be reason to hear the voice of a corporation's interests in regard to our democracy and hear it clearly, more clearly, perhaps, than the convoluted money as speech speak that we currently experience.

Do you see technology playing an important role in "one person, one vote?" Wouldn't the use of a social-media polling system be a solution to the accountability issues in American Democracy? Is not the media to blame for the disconnect between us and our representatives? What is more valuable to our democracy than transparency?
