    That'd be great!!!

    I live in a deep red state. My vote won't matter as my states EC votes will go for the Republican candidate.

    A popular vote would make my vote count finally.

    The far easier plan is to simply increase the size of the House of Representatives. All it needs is a change, or repeal, of the Re-Apportionment Act of 1929. Replace it with something like the Wyoming Rule and done.

    Not only does that fix Presidential Elections it would also fix or substantially ease a pile of other problems like Gerrymandering by giving the denser population areas the Representation they should have.

    The HoR being fixed at only 435 seats is at the core of so many problems in this country.
