In light of the current election I have created this petition

In light of the recent events I feel the need to repost this

The Popular vote went to Clinton but she did not win.
You don't even need to be a citizen to sign this, you just need to have an email address.

I just made a petition to congress addressing the problem with the current voting system. I know that this might not work but if it gets enough signatures someone in the government is at least obligated to read it and will be aware that this is an issue that people care about. If you have ever been frustrated that your first choice for president did not make it to the final two or have wanted to vote 3rd party but were afraid that it would be throwing your vote away please sign!
This is the full text of my proposal. The petition website cut it off after the first paragraph due to a character limit:
There are three main issues with the current system of electing the president:
First past the post
Primaries
Electoral College
Our current first past the post voting system only allows citizens to indicate their top choice thus making a two party system a necessity. For example in an election with three candidates, a, b, and c if a citizen votes for the least popular candidate, a that is “taking away” a vote from his second choice, b thus giving an advantage to his last choice, c. However under a ranked voting system voting 3rd party does not favor the opposite extreme. Under a ranked system the hypothetical voter’s ballot would look like: a 1, b 2, c 3. Once the votes were counted the votes for the least popular candidate, rather than being discarded, would go to their second choice. This would continue until a majority winner was found.
Under this system primary elections would also not be necessary because all candidates running in an election cycle could be on one ballot. Consolidating to one election would also be more representative of citizens’ actual wishes because more voters show up to the final election than to the primary. As primary elections are run now they are also not fair because they are not standardized, with some states having primary elections and others having caucuses. The primary election also asks voters to choose between political parties. As the laws are currently, a voter may not vote in both the democratic and republican primary elections.
Finally the Electoral College needs to be done away with. We have the technology to determine a winner by actual number of votes. Currently in many states even if a candidate only wins by 51% of the popular vote that candidate gets 100% of the state’s electoral votes. Furthermore electoral votes are not perfectly representative of the population meaning that a single vote counts for more in a less populated state.
We urge congress to re-evaluate the mechanics of the voting system to better represent the people.
