Electoral College repeal amendment

The Every Vote Counts Amendment is almost perfect, but it needs some tweaks.

Every Vote Counts

Section 1. The President and Vice President shall be elected by the people of the several States and the district constituting the seat of government citizens of the United States.
Section 2. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of Senators and Representatives in Congress from that State, except that the legislature of any State may prescribe less restrictive qualifications with respect to residence and Congress may establish uniform residence and age qualifications.
Section 3. The persons having the greatest number of votes for President and Vice President shall be elected.

Section 2. Every United States citizen who is 18 years of age or older has the right to vote for President. It is the responsibility of the county or territory where that elector is registered to vote to provide a paper ballot by mail to the elector, if the elector requests it. It is the responsibility of the postal service to return all ballots free of charge to the county or territory auditor when mailed from within the territory of these United States. Counties and territories are responsible for signature verification of the ballots they receive.
Section 3. If a ticket has received a majority, defined as at least half of the total valid votes, for President and Vice President, they shall be elected. If no ticket has received a majority of votes, then the ticket which has received the fewest valid votes will be eliminated and those votes will then count towards their highest ranked choice who is still in the election. Repeat until a ticket has a majority of votes.

Section 4. Each elector shall cast a single vote jointly applicable to President and Vice President. Names of candidates may not be joined unless they shall have consented thereto and no candidate may consent to the candidate’s name being joined with that of more than one other person.
Section 5. The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any candidate for President or Vice President before the day on which the President-elect or Vice President-elect has been chosen, and for the case of a tie in any election.

Section 5. If a Presidential candidate dies before election day, the Vice Presidential candidate on the ticket will be the Presidential candidate for that ticket, and may choose a new Vice Presidential candidate. If the Vice President on a ticket dies before election day, the Presidential candidate on that ticket may choose a new Vice Presidential candidate. If both the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate on a ticket die before election day, that ticket will be eliminated from the election and all votes for that ticket will be reallocated towards the next choice on the electors ballot.

Section 6. The Twenty-Second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 7. Congress may not infringe on the right for any sitting or former member of congress, president, vice president, member of the cabinet, governor, or state legislator from being a candidate for the Presidency. Congress shall have power to regulate Presidential ballot access to other persons.
Section 8. The order of names on the ballot for President shall be determined by the United States order of precedence first, and then all other candidates by alphabetical order.

Section 6 9. This article shall apply with respect to any election for President and Vice President held after the expiration of the 1-year period which begins on the date of the ratification of this article.

In my opinion, this solves all the issues I see with our current Presidential election system:

1. The Electoral College is abolished, ending the inequity built into the system.
2. It establishes ranked voting, allowing voters to vote their conscience, and prevents the spoiler effect.
3. It guarantees a right to vote by mail.
4. It extends Presidential suffrage to citizens in the several territories.
5. It establishes a positive right for all adult US citizens to vote.
6. It guarantees absentee paper ballots, and the post office will deliver them free of charge.
7. It guarantees a right for members of congress, governors, members of the cabinet, and other high-ranking officials to run for the Presidency.
8. It establishes the order in which the ballot will be printed.

I think this will establish a solid system for future Presidential elections.
