DC and Puerto Rico ought to become states.
All 52 states should get a minimum one Senator each. After that, it should be based on population for a total of 200 Senators. So it would be roughly one Senator for about two million or less Americans. That would give California something like 20 Senatorial districts.
It would help to have open primaries. So the two top vote getters might both belong to the same party. And then they go compete in the general election. That should also be true for the House races. Open primaries would kill gerrymandering.
As for president, might as well directly vote. Get rid of the electoral college.

I Was Going To Say 330
November 4: Barack Obama elected President (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
When I said over 300 I really wanted to say 330. But I ended up saying over 300.
332 it is.
Phew.
I Told You So: 303 And Counting
Obama Will Cross 300 Electoral Votes
The 330 figure was based on this assertion: Romney Can Have North Carolina. I was not buying that this was a close election.
Barack Obama has won the American presidential election, gaining an expected 332 electoral-college votes to Mitt Romney’s 206, and taking about 50% of the popular vote to the Republican’s 48%.Almost two million more votes is not close. Not in my book.
Looks like Barack Obama lost Indiana and North Carolina. Damn you, Mr. President!
