On every ballot there was an option for "None of the Above" and if that option received the most votes, then new primaries would be required?

Public Financing was required for all campaigns for elective office? Candidates would be required to provide a predetermined number of verified voter signatures (by circulating petitions) in order to qualify. Private financing would be allowed only to help enable the collection of qualifying signatures.

Candidates would be selected by popular vote, not by the machinations of National party conventions?

A vote of "No Confidence" was used more frequently and could be initiated by the public?

Impeachment and/or recall could be initiated by members of the public?

Third party candidates were provided a level playing field through required media coverage?

Term limits were mandatory for all elected positions?

The Electoral College was disbanded and the President was elected on the basis of popular vote?

Offered as "food for thought".
