My brilliant son (in my humble opinion) came up with a brilliant proposed amendment to the Constitution with respect to Presidential elections. Sort of a compromise between the Electoral College and the popular vote - let each U.S. Congressional district have one vote, and report that vote directly to Congress. It eliminates the silly aspects of each state having a vote while solving the problems of direct popular vote. The President would need to win a simple majority of the votes of the Congressional districts. The most populous states wouldn't have excessive influence, and neither would the biggest cities - because each Congressional district is apportioned so that each of them has roughly the same population.
