Is it fair that Puerto Rico/other random islands get delegates?

Yes and they should have a vote in GE.

I'd give Puerto Rico and other territories the same rights as D.C. in presidential elections, although due to all territories, except Puerto Rico, having populations way too small for statehood, I'd give each 2 ot 1 electoral votes.

Or better yet; combine American Samoa, Guam and Northern Marianas and Virgin Islands populations (372,867) for a purpose of being considered as a state for presidential election purpouses. Yes, that's still fever people than in Wyoming (584 153), but an idea worth considering IMO.

Or we could just, you know, just switch to using the national popular vote and let all US citizens have a say, regardless of where they live.

That would be the best solution, of course.

Only if there is a runoff if no one gets 50% in the first vote. Just like in Poland.

I'd love to see 1992, 1996 and 2000 runoffs

Hate runoffs. They really screw things up.

Sure, let's the minority elect President despite the majority voting for someone else...

Lack of runoffs can screw things even more. Let's look at the very grotesque example, that is the 1992 Filipino presidential election, when a winner got mere 23.58%. Very democratic indeed.
