Electoral Reform

Postby saxitoxin on Sun May 11, 2014 11:25 pm

Under the current U.S. system, senior class officers are responsible for planning the 10-year reunion (in some cases all subsequent reunions as well). That means they end up serving an 11 year term in office, which - as I understand it - is a longer term than any other public official except for Federal Reserve Governors (15 years) and Supreme Court Justices (Life). While this system has largely worked in the past, it seems somewhat undemocratic. Also, they are elected prior to the senior prom, meaning if senior prom is not a good event, constituents do not have the opportunity to elect a new slate of officials prior to graduation (and, ergo, the 10 year reunion).

Should it be reformed?

Senior citizens should get half a vote.

Is this a trap?

You can't trap me.

If your prom sucks then you could get k*thoer to strangle the class officer, watching their life evaporate before his eyes.

I had to renew my voting ID card today, after 15 years. They just won't accept it as an ID any more, they've been saying they won't for years but they continued to accept it. It sucks because I look very hot in the picture of the old one.

I've never voted.

Sounds like someone wants to add another 30 days to his tab.
