The Disadvantages of Voting in America

Voting in America is different because the system of governance is different. Our flavor of democracy is very direct. There are many more offices to elect people to. And there are many more opportunities for the general voting population to vote on whether particular things should become law. The example that I showed from San Francisco from the 2016 election had 40 questions on it between the county and the state. This is extreme, but not unusual these days as the flavor of state legislatures change up and down on political scale.
