1st: Electoral College, Don't eliminate it but states should not be all or nothing they should be porportional. As it is now If you live in an opposing color state your vote is worthless.

2nd: IRV is way to confusing and has problems switch to approval voting where everyone votes for as many canidates that they want. If we can get around the IRV confusion problems then combine IRV and approval voting such that you can vote for multiple first/second/third canidates.

3rd: Fix the campaign finance problems. Contributions to the political system should go to the government where it is divided evenly amoung canidates. No individual or corperation should be able to give money to a canidate (doing so should be a felony).
