The problem with either of these “solutions” is the recounts that would ensue. Think Bush/Gore, or worse, Franken/Coleman. The election counting would last 6 months or more… in every single district in the country. It would be a battle of attrition. Once one side finally lost, there would still be cries of cheating and illegitimacy. We would never have election results to which people would acquiesce. Such chaos would lead directly to fighting. Throw in proven election fraud after the fact, and the guns would come out. “When the ballot box fails, all that is left is the ammo box.”
These ideas would be the destruction of our Republic in an attempt to make it a Democracy. The worst thing is, it wouldn’t be about making it a Democracy at all, because this is machine politics at its worst.
This would lead to blood in the streets.
