Democracy Versus Freedom

Vote fraud is massive, opposition candidates are often beaten or murdered by government thugs, and a small elite controls all power. Citizens have little freedom, but lots of poverty.

If one looks at “voting”, perhaps we are going at this in all the wrong way.
In the US, we have lots of elections. Maybe we need “fewer”.
My thought is that we have a hierarchy of Municipality > County > State > Federal. Perhaps, we need Street -> Area added to the bottom.
My suggestion is that we on Tyne Court — all six houses have an election for Tyne Court Representative. Every named street does the same thing. Together they all comprise the Area of Upper Kendall Park. So, then Upper Kendall Park has an organizing election for representative. The Tyne Court rep gets to cast 17 votes (the total headcount who live on tyne Court) for a candidate.
So Tyne Court elects a rep, who elects an Upper kendall Park rep, who elects a municipal rep, who elects a county rep, who elects a state rep, who elects a federal rep, who elects a “king”.
;-)
Seriously fewer direct elections.
One man one vote is preserved by voting based on “proxies”.
I think it would be better than the nonsense we have now.
