Election Improvements

My personal opinion about the current state of elections is that they are pretty well off as they are. But yet there can still be room for improvement. One area I would think needs to be changed is during the primary season it should be easier to get on the ballot in every state, it should not be about how much money or signatures you need to poor in the state it should be about the ideas and views of the candidate but he should still get signatures to get on the ballot to show that he is a legit candidate; but yes money will still be involved just not as much. Another personal opinion I have is that they should find out who the two candidates are earlier than what they do so instead of Aug-Sept. it should be like June or May so that it gives the candidates more time to market themselves and it would not be so dang crazy come October early November. I thought of this idea coming from a citizen who gets very sick of a gazillion adds for the election, so by extending the amount of time opens more doors to space out your adds have a few debates and overall not make the election season so damn crazy. This idea goes along with another thought and it is almost in affect today and that is a price ceiling. Candidates should spend no more than 100 million dollars for there campaign, whether they get it from the gov or not. This is more than the 75 million the gov. would give you for the campaign but this cap will make the candidate be more precise and logical on how they advertise over the longer election time so instead of just one or two months they will have to advertise 4 to 5 months and this will make them budget the money better and in the end the candidate who can budget there money better should be able to come out and win the election and maybe even budget the economy better! So those are a few ideas I have on improving the elections.
