1. Changing the system...
The GOP is in control of the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and much of the media. When you say "It shouldn't be too hard to create voting systems which more accurately (and verifiably) reflect "the will of the people"", you fail to account for the fact that the GOP likes it the way it is and will fight like hell to keep the status quo.

That doesn't mean we don't try, but we have to be realistic about the difficulty of the task.
