Just and Fair Voting Strategies

After seeing the documentary in Mr. Gwaltney's class this week about the 2000 election, specifically with the drama that occured in Florida at that time, it got me thinking about the many ways and outcomes that could have turned out differently if there were small changes and rules in our voting system. There were so many unjustices pulled off in certain counties of Florida that election, it was astonishing, but mostly the election was a representation of the flaws in our democratic system. Personal gain, power, strategy, and manipulation all went into play during that election, and people were willing to do illegal, unfair things to get the outcome they were hoping for.
If the government enforced a law that felons are allowed to vote or even the exclusion of complicated voting techniques like the butterfly ballet, then the outcomes of all elections would be alot more accurate of all the people in America's opinions.
I am open to other ideas to cleanse our voting system, but I think it IS obvious that our voting system does in fact need cleansing. Some of the impurities that officials have introduced into our so called "free" and "just" government are embarrasing and need to be put to an end.
