Maybe by getting younger people to vote more? (I know this has been tried since forever, but have we tried everything?)

And, holding public comment hearings outside of traditional working hours so that non-retired people have a fair shot?

IDK seems pretty hopeless..

I got some ideas:

Could just put a ballot at the end of tax forms. Just piggy back the ID confirm the IRS does. Doesn't have to be mandatory. Give a $5 tax credit for filling it out. People who don't pay taxes can vote normally or by mail.

Universal mail in voting. I'd go as far as to make mail in voting the only way to vote.

Make every state have the same voting day (primaries/general). This helps reduce media influence on the elections.

Get rid of first past the post voting. Allows for more political parties, increasing the odds people are engaged with one of the parties. Something like ranked choice would keep their vote relevant even if their preference didn't make the cut.

It's infuriating to me when people recognize there is a problem, yet toss up their hands and not try new things. How is repeating the same thing going to get different results?
