Presidential:
- All states adopt RCV
- Party threshold to enter debates decreased to 5%
- If a party receives 5% in the last election, they get access to funding and gain automatical ballot access
- Make EV's and delegates binding
- Forbid superdelegates, PAC's and caucuses
- Ban gerrymandering
- NOVA (Fairfax, Loudoun & Prince William) merges with new DC state
- Three westernmost MD counties are transferred to WV
- Statehood for Puerto Rico
- NYC, Los Angeles and Chicago metro areas split with their state and become a new state. They all can elect 2 new senators.
- NV, UT, ID, WV, RI, NH, NM, IA all get 1 EV for each district. The remaining 2 are winner-takes-it-all. This will help stop gerrymandering because competitive districts will bring attention to these areas
- FL (South, Central, North), TX (RGV, East, Houston, Dallas, Austin/SA, North+West) and CA (SF, SD, North, South, East) minus LA are divided into state regions for senate elections and presidential elections
- Proportional allocation for all states with more than 14 EV's. Winner-takes it all counts for 50% + 1 EV. EV's left over are allocated with D'hondt method. 10% electoral threshold. This applies to GA, NC, MI, NJ and OH with perhaps one of the newly created states: PR, DC and upstate NY
- All other states + new state regions stay winner takes it all
- 10 brand new EV's are allocated to a council of Native American tribes, to ensure indigenous rights are respected
Senate:
- 2 senators are allocated to a council of Native American tribes
- Expansion of new states: upstate NY, DC, PR + TX (6)/CA (5)/FL (3) new state regions, new cities (LA, NY, CH), which would expand the senate by 48 (+2 Natives), which would set the total number to 150.
House
- All districts are drawn by an independent organ.
- The house expands to 1000 seats, 20 are reserved for the council of Native American tribes
- Existing district number total stays the same (except for the new states)
- Other districts are allocated to states fairly, with proportional representation: 5% electoral threshold (in practice in many states higher). Parties offer lists with candidates,people can vote for a candidate and if for an example a party wins 11 seats in a state, the 11 candidates a highest number of votes of that party enter parliament
Splitting existing states requires the consent of the legislature. Texas will never consent to be split, and California likely wouldn't either because L.A. knows it is dependent on the North for water and has the votes/legislative seats to block it. Virginia is more interesting, because if Republicans ever win both houses of the legislature back, they would obviously support this.
