Earning the Vote

And for fuck's sake, eliminate (or side-step via the interstate compact) the electoral college.

Well yeah, it's a bullshit system. It wasn't supposed to work in the first place. It was always meant to, 1) be as ineffective as possible, and 2) be as ineffective as possible while still selling the general public on the idea that it actually works and that no other system could be implemented.
