Abstract
If all options were possible, what policy changes would make voting, and democracy, work better? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator lives in a world where all public political affiliations are illegal leading up to, and shortly after, their every-ten-year elections. No colors, no symbols, and no public speech so as to limit political misinformation and post-election turmoil. Additionally, everyone is required to vote, unless they are granted a government exemption. This is meant to create a more stable democracy. The narrator’s party ends up winning the election. At the end of the story, the evil side of this “improved” democracy shows itself; those that lose the election are summarily rounded up and killed by the government.
