I would love to see the President elected by popular vote. Right now, if you live in a state where the result is obvious ahead of time, your vote for President counts for nothing. If I live in Texas or Rhode Island, what's the point of going out to cast my vote for the candidate I support? I already know who will win my state regardless of whether I vote.

I think voter turnout would increase dramatically in presidential elections if we 86'd the electoral college.
