is to open source the voting machines. Verify each and every machine used, and have election results in a verifiable form with a clear audit trail. Not the hocus pocus system we have now.

But that would stop the people in power from easily picking the winners.
The votes don't matter, while the "people in power" control the nominations.

Electoral College.
I hate that "all or none" states exist.

Jeff, when the US was considered a union of sovereign States, whether a state was "all or nothing" was up to them individually.
And electors have, albeit rarely, changed their minds. But then, that was also a time when the powers up for grabs were far more limited and narrow than now.
I don't think it violates the "non-political" rule to say that this is one seriously messed up system, soup to nuts.
