5. Elect the U.S. House of Representatives
through a system of Proportional Representation, and abolish the U.S. Senate:
Why should California and Wyoming have the same number of senators when
California's population is about 70 times greater? The seven largest national
political parties will be empowered in a single-chambered, national
legislature. Under proportional
representation, the National Green Party, for example, may get 15 percent of the vote in the 435-membered House of Representatives. Indiana's population
currently allows it to have ten members in the House of Representatives. But it may be that of the seven national
political parties, the Indiana Republican Party will get to select five of
Indiana's ten representatives in the House of Representatives because Indiana
is a conservative state.

6. Abolish the
Electoral College System for electing a president. A president must win by a majority of
individual votes (not just a plurality of votes), using the method of Instant
Runoff Voting. Each voter will rank slated candidates from most favorite
to least favorite. And it may take two or more rounds of voting to eliminate
the candidate with the fewest votes, until eventually one of the
remaining candidates captures at least 51 percent of the vote.
