We should count non-voting eligible voters like this, and if not voting wins in your state you don't get any delegates for the electoral college.

Then just scrap the "first past the post" system and whoever gets the most delegates wins. In 2016 it would be Clinton with 51 vs. Trump's 16.

You'd have states mandating voting, and passing laws that businesses must give staff time off to vote. That'll never get up
