We need to move from first past the post voting. There is nothing in the constitution that demands this. We also need to move back to one representative for every thirty thousand people. It is harder to bribe 11K members of the house than it is to bribe 425
Sure. We should have run offs in every state in which the President doesn't get past 50%.... that would require some SERIOUS third party/independent candidates. This ain't it, apparently (meaning Yeezy)... (wonder how many states Ross Perot's national 19% kept Clinton from getting past 50%?)
On congress...yeah, the UK parliament has 650 elected members to the House of Commons for about 68 million people... so that's roughly 100,000 per PM.
I'd be OK with that....right now we have a Congresscritter for every 760,000 people.
So if we moved to a 100,000 to 1 ratio, that would bring us to: 3300
bummer:

Holy mackerel. ONLY ONE STATE was won by either candidate with more than 50% of the vote (Clinton in his own State of Arkansas):
