I wouldn’t mandate it or amend it at the federal level. Election law doesn’t normally happen at that level. But I would encourage the parties and localities and states to do it and hope it becomes a trend. It really doesn’t benefit the two party-system more than another party or vice versa. There are scenarios for one or the other where it could help or hurt them. It’s something everyone should support since it means a fairer representation of what the majority of voters want.

When elections are at the federal level, that is where the law is written. Check out Constitution.

If the majority of voters want it, they will adopt it. So far, they have not.

Again, do you support the direct election of the President and VP, i.e., by popular vote?
