Dont believe that any mechanical system of counting votes or republican representation can fix what is broken. The US has to find a unifying social consensus first, then it systems can implement and reflect that. The question is how do we find this new social consensus, a set of priorities which provide a compass to light our path. It used to be enlightenment liberalism supported by Christian values. The unique and revolutionary feature of American thought that put the highest possible value on the dignity and value of the individual, in the face of the impassioned masses, can be rejuvenated, and perhaps might light our way forward again. We can always hope.

We must adopt a ranked election primary such as Alaska uses. And then we must eliminate the Electoral College in favor of direct election.
