In your opinion, what is the most urgently needed electoral reform in America today?

My ideas for electoral reform

1) voting rights: anybody at least 18 (or about to turn 18 before or on election day) can vote with a voter id (states must give on the spot insatnt voter ids for free)

 2) representation for non states (including dc and puerto rico): a minimum of 1 to a mximum of 2 us house seats based on the last census (states would get a minimum of 3 us house seats)

3) congress expansion: using a modified version of the wyoming rule, expand the house to its real size; the senate should guarantee 1 us senator for each non state and the current 2 per state rule.

4) electoral college reform: reform the electoral college by having a multi round system that leads to election day by having candidates compete in groups, with the best candidates qualify for the next round (electoral votes would be divided equally to the group winners)

I think in the National presidential primaries, there should be a run off of no candidate gets more than 50% of the popular vote. I think all primaries should have run offs.

I would propose a multi round system when it comes to primaries and general elections.

My idea would be with 3 rounds:

- first round: 8 candidates, voters vote for 4, top 4 qualify for second round
- second round: 4 candidates, voters vote for 2, too 2 qualify for final round
- final round: 2 candidates, voters vote for 1 candidate, the candidate with the most votes wins

What do you think about my idea? 😉
