The candidate would be held to their grid. Every time the eventual winner position on a grid would be violated they should be taken to task. It's surprising in how long election season goes on. Here's my quick non-professional overview- there's seemingly much at stake for an election. each candidate and each side has to start preparing early in order to be ready. they also want to make themselves known before other candidates come along so they form exploratory committees to get popular and see if they have a shot. because all this starts early the campaigns have more and more time to get negative- because each has time to outdo the next. all along this long road there's lots of clutter- so candidates spend money. But i agree there's got to be a way to spend this money on more nobler causes. I guess Austria is more advanced than America- if they have a grid... I'm guessing someone has created something like it but it's not popular. the grid would try to eliminate hot air and turn it into concrete facts.

Many things they tell us before the elections gets forgotten and those things that they don't forget is maybe even worse because for instance they tell to reduce the taxes before the elections but afterwards they don't know how to finance it. What I definitely don't understand (as I am not an american and not living there): How can it be that the campaigns run for such a long time (more than a year I think) and cost soooo much money. It would have bee better to give that money to the people suffering poverty...
