...let the motherfucker burn.
The electoral college needs to go. It's served its originally intended purpose of the enhancing the stature of the smaller states, while not neutering the big ones. Along with it, or to start, state party autonomy for primaries is outmoded and has the effect of disenfranchising various groups of the population (see Florida and Michigan Democratic primaries). Federal standards, rules and regulations of all types make demands in other national elections--put some good ones into practice at the federal electoral level as well. For example, all voting must take place either on a weekend day or a national holiday must be enforced so that all people, including the majority of working people will have not only the opportunity but the ease of means to encourage and facilitate the highest possible turn out.
