On this Friday before Halloween, we were thinking about how democracy in our constitutional republic can be filled with tricks or treats for citizens. We compiled a list of both. What would you add? Email us your ideas and we'll share them with our readers next week.
Tricks
- Gerrymandered map.
- Election interference.
- Algorithms that divide us.
- Voting restrictions.
- Propaganda and disinformation.
- Corruption.
Treats
- Independent redistricting commissions.
- Election integrity.
- Fun with friends and family, IRL.
- Voting access.
- Factual and trusted journalism.
- Accountability and transparency.
