14. I like the mail in ballots with one national counting day idea.
Would it still be a state by state vote, or a national vote?

The problem with the national vote approach is the concentration of power in the big urban centers. Those of us in lightly populated states (I live in Wyoming) already feel in danger of becoming colonies again - if it were to become a national popular vote the country would fracture along those lines pretty badly.
