Proposed Constitutional Amendments

Any holder of an elected public office is forbidden to run for another elected office without first resigning their current position (eg. if a senator wants to become President or Vice President then they should resign from the senate first).

– Expand the Electoral College, with each county receiving a set amount of electoral votes based on its population, with the winner of the majority of the county votes winning the state’s set number of electoral votes based on congressional representation (this is to prevent major metro areas of states like California and New York from invalidating votes from rural areas of those states)

By expanding to make it based on population, you are doing exactly what the founders tried to prevent… having a few large metro/state areas dictate to the rest of the nation.  Instead it sounds like the electoral college will be nothing more than an exact copy of the US congress.

Unless I am reading what you are suggesting.

I think point 5 is a little restrictive. There may be people other than military personnel who are unable to reach a polling station in person. For example hospitalisation. However, I do think that an absentee or proxy ballot should require a good reason. Not being bothered or going on holiday would not count. The list of acceptable reasons would need to be explicitly listed, otherwise it would be open to interpretation and I can see pressure groups going to court to make sure that the spurious reasons they would invent would count. The identity and place of residence of the voter would need to be confirmed before the ballot could be issued as well to make sure the person is real and living. All ballots should have to reach the counting station along with those cast in person on election day though so that they can all be counted together.
