A Transformation

Hey, today me and my friend Harrison, at http://harrisonhum8.blogspot.com/ , created our Abstract for our transformation project that we are going to present.

Should the voting age be dictated by knowledge or by years lived? Can we fix party gerrymandering? Should we revert the presidency to one term? The electorate is wrought with flaws, Gerrymandering is one of those many flaws. California has already attempted to fix this problem with an independent coalition; however, people can never be truly bipartisan. Could we replace this coalition with computers. If we used federal censuses to find population density and inputted the information into computers. The voting age has never made sense to me. Why should an arbitrary number possess so much power. We need to find a more viable metric. The presidency is filled with innumerable amounts of bureaucracy. When elected he or she always attempts mild policies in order to be reelected. Would it be wiser to reform this system to one six year terms. Can we transform this system?
