Let's have an Election Process Summit.

Convene representatives from all 50 States and the Territories to try to reform the many failings that we see in so many places.

The Federal Government can't run our Elections. Each state makes their own rules, prints their own ballots decides how many polling places there will be and what machines will be used.

But the Federal Government can provide aid, resources and funding to the States for changes that they voluntarily agree to that brings some uniformity to what now looks like chaos.

An Elections Summit. It's time has come.
