OK, here’s how I would set things up. No one needs any money for advertising.

1. All candidates get the same ad schedule across the board.

2. You can only talk about yourself in your ad. No discussion of opponent.

3. Starting in Jan of an election year, there is a one hour debate every Sunday evening on rotating networks for one hour. Available on the web after it airs live on TV.

4. There is a very easy and brief quiz you must pass in order to vote.

Whoever loses turns all leftover money raised to education.

Peace!
