19. The electoral college is not a big deal.

The biggest problem is the senate. I don't see how our founding fathers thought this thing up, honestly. Every state gets the same represenation, regardless of population. So, the people of Wyoming get two senators and the people of California get two senators. The people in Wyoming have way, way, way more represenation per person than do the people of Cali. It's no where on the radar, but someday I'd love to see a constitutional amendment to fix the senate. Maybe there should be large senate "districts" with the same number of people per district, like in the house.
