One thing I hadn't realised is in almost half your states there's a law saying that the "electors" (the states reps on the Electoral College that never meets) are legally bound to vote for whichever candidate gets the most votes.

Which means, I take it, most popular votes in their particular state. But it occurred to me that by making it obligatory on them to vote for whichever candidate got the most votes nationally, that'd be an elegant and simple way of solving an embarrassing situation.
