Florida Sen. Bill Nelson Seeks to End Electoral College

clipped from www.tampabay.com

U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, has introduced an election reform package that calls for abolishing the Electoral College and setting up regional, rotating presidential primaries.

"Let's come back to the essential fundamental principle, which is one person, one vote," Nelson said in his downtown Tampa office Friday. "A democracy like ours will work if you honor that."

Both are very good ideas, but I wonder if anyone will jump in and co-sponsor.

Bonus good ideas:

Nelson's bill also would require states to allow absentee voting and use voting machines that produce a paper trail.
