Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., proposes an interesting modification to the electoral process in the November 20 issue of Time magazine.

"There is a simpler reform that would ensure the popular-vote winner a majority in the Electoral College: award a bonus of 102 electoral votes, two from each state and for the District of Columbia, to the winner of the popular vote. ... The evidence is that the Founders fully expected the Electoral College to execute the popular will in each state."
