Quit allowing corporate media to run debates. Let them happen on CSPAN, and guarantee that all candidates answer all questions, and have equal talk-time.

Ban polls. They manipulate the whole process before votes are cast.

100% public financing of all campaigns; no outside campaigning by other groups. An equal playing field.

A fairness doctrine for the media, mandating equal, and equally neutral, coverage for all candidates.

Regardless of when primaries are held, one national counting day, after the final polls in the final state close, where all votes are counted together; with no polling, that erases the early state advantage.

Finally, some form of IRV.
