Many people haven't heard of the movement wanting to implement an "Approval Voting (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/337513/wdgi/1876435)" system over the current "Plurality Voting." There is an active campaign on Indiegogo (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/337513/wdgi/1876435) to create an educational video on the subject.

Approval voting (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/337513/wdgi/1876435) just makes sense; No more election "spoilers," and no more choosing the lesser of two evils - simply, it's whomever gets the most votes, without implementing a deeply-flawed "popular vote" methodology.

I like the idea of saying "I only approve of these people" but I think it's insufficient for just applying to elections.

I say let any random volunteer take office then only stay there by approval. That's incentive to perform.
