As I've mentioned on here before, I'm no fan of the Electoral College (and not just because of this year's result)... but, honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the Presidential election process at all.
So, spit balling some ideas (knowing it's easier to throw shit to the wall and see what sticks than to actually implement changes that don't dismantle the entire country), I put together a short list of some changes I'd be in favor of.
*Ditch the electoral college. One person = one vote.
*Initiate ranked-choice voting.
*Standardize ballot access for federal positions across all states, including a threshold where any candidate that achieves ballot access in, say, 2/3rds of states is automatically granted access in the remaining states.
*No 'grandfathering' of candidates or parties onto the ballot. If Vermin Supreme has to collect 20,000 signatures, so does Trump and Clinton.
*Remove party affiliations from the ballot.
*Remove tax dollars from the primary process.
Curious, what other ideas are worth considering?
