Sounds good to me. My only problem is that chances are the president at the time would have to stay in office during the time it takes for another election to take place. I don't like that part. And considering that people may not vote for any party's FIRST choice, the odds of them picking the second choice is even more slim, thus keeping the sitting president.. sitting... cuz someone would have to do it. Can't just kick out an entire branch of government w/o replacing it. (or can you.. hmm.)
I would rather see it made easier for more people to get on the ballot in all the states. Some parties have a hard time getting enough states to win even if people did suddenly begin voting for them.
