6. If the President could only be elected
by a majority (although I'd settle for a plurality above 40%) of the POPULAR vote, then every single vote actually would count. The current system with the electoral college really means that only a few thousand votes really count and those only count in the states which are not already a foregone conclusion for one or the other candidate.
