Direct popular vote with a runoff if no candidate reaches 45%.



1. Increase the size of the House so that the average Congressional district never exceeds 500k (thus also increasing the size of the Electoral College)
2. Implement IRV for all elections (aside from proportional primaries)
3. Grant each incorporated territory 1 electoral vote (in addition to one full member in the House, DC should also have a full member in the House)
5. Forbid campaigning for president or raising funds before January 1st of the election year (the only one here I disagree with)
6. Outlaw caucusing
7. End the NH-IA monopoly on early voting and implement a regionally balanced lottery for primaries.  Primary season would start until March or April.

unfortunately options 6 and 7 make too much sense to ever be implemented.
