Want to Fix Presidential Elections? Here’s the Quickest Way.

From Politico:

There is, however, an achievable short-term solution to the “Howard Schultz problem.”¹ It does not require a constitutional amendment. It does not involve an interstate compact. Reformers should focus on a select group of battleground states and get them to adopt ranked-choice voting—or, if they prefer, a conventional runoff—in presidential elections.

Legally, this kind of reform is far easier than a constitutional amendment or an interstate compact. Each state already has the constitutional power to decide how it awards its electoral votes. It is the same constitutional power that currently permits Maine and Nebraska to award their votes on the basis of congressional districts, instead of a statewide winner-take-all system.

I love it. A beautiful thing about Federalism is the ability for a few states to run what is effectively a nation-wide experiment (fun fact).
