I have a way of eliminating the USA Presidential Electoral College, and give credence to both a Popular Vote and an Individual State Representation Vote:
The Winner of the Presidency of USA will need to win a Plurality of the National Vote... But also, win a Majority - not a Plurality - of the Individual States Vote... This way, we will eliminate the Electoral College, and also allow both the larger populated States and smaller populated States to have a direct voice in who becomes Our President...
PS - This will take a Constitutional Amendment, and so even if taken-up by Congress will take 10-20 years to pass and ratify, and seeing as I am 69 years old, I will almost never see this become Law...

Your proposal is just as foolish as any but seeing that I turn 75 next month, I will never see its result either.

It can’t work! We need it to continue with America as the greatest country ever. I won’t be here, but my children, grandchildren and their children will be. If we don’t fight for what’s right now, they won’t have a chance. I’m aware this was offered with a twinkle in the eye, but still...

Or we could go state by state and each state gets one vote. So the majority in the state decides for each state. That way no one state is more important than another.
