The obvious solution is to not have government.

Keep the electoral college, and they vote however they want regardless of how the population votes. Make them pay a fine for not voting as the people desire? $1000? Is there a paper trail? Would an election be changed upon discovery of failure to keep in alignment with the people?

Get rid of the electoral college, and the electors for the "big" states have more say.

What is the difference? None. Why? Because the people still have no say.

What we have now, is the political party mob rule.

What we would have if it changed, would be the population mob rule.

You still have so many people who are forced to go along with something they don't want to.

When someone else is supposed to carry your vote to another level of choice making, you are trusting that someone, to be honest.

Government is not honest, it is force.

Do you think someone like Soros can't afford to cover an electors fine?

Do you think a lobbyist can't cover the cost of a fine?

The revenue generated by the government, and the resources of the USA are huge. How big of a fine can stop such behavior?

Its just to damn easy for a hierarchy to be taken over, when power is funneled to the few at the top. It makes it to easy to control the entire population. Especially if they rely on government to make the decisions.
