If you could choose how to reform the Presidential Elections, what would it be?

I like the Electoral College it emphasizes that we are a Federal Government and a mix of State and Federal power.  As long as States are important, the Electoral College has a purpose and should be retained.

I would do the following:
1) Assign Electoral Votes according to the number of citizens per state, not persons
2) Award a double Electors to the state winner, 4 instead of 2
3) Elect 1 elector by the winner of each Congressional district
4) Make Federal Electors a 4 yr assignment, in which Electors act as "Citizen Representatives" of the candidate then, President collecting ideas, emailing results, talking to local civic groups.  Let them act as a conduit, independent of the Media and without the overwhelming spin of the parties, for policies, and provide a way for ideas and feedback to go up to the President.
