1. Single biggest reform would be publicly funded elections. If you take money out of the equation suddenly third parties have a shot.
2. Make all (or a large percentage) of State Representatives at large and take the top finishers from the state wide election. For example if four seats were at large then the top 4 finishers would be elected. Again this would help third parties.
3. Have EC delegates awarded by percentage instead of winner take all. Right now my vote is meaningless in Tennessee because a Republican is going to win the state. The main reason voter turnout is so low in Presidential elections is that most states are already decided before the election. Instead we should make every persons vote count.
Our country is so evenly divided that even a small percentage of third party seats would create a situation that forced compromise.
Have all tie votes in the Senate decided by a cage match between each parties champion.
