Popular vote is one good option...
Or how about this.... (I think Colorado is actually considering this.)
Split the electoral votes from each state by percentage of people that vote either way...
Let me explain... Say a state has 10 Electoral votes. 60% of the stae votes democrat, 40% votes republican. 6 of that states votes go to the democrat, 4 to the republican.
That would be a HUGE step in the right direction. Because as it is right now, if you are a democrat living in a state that always votes republican (like Texas or something) then your vote is worthless. You may as well stay home on election day because your vote isn't going where you want it to anyways.
