Ranked choice can be done state by state. Alaska, maine, and New York City elections are ranked choice.

The electoral college can be nullified by state by state adoption of the popular vote compact.

That's only a few states short but all the blue states have signed on, so it needs support from red states which is a much heavier lift.

    The original setup was basically a ranked choice system already. The top two vote getters were the president and vice president.

    That was changed, ostensibly to "stop assassination" but like all good ideas, it had bad follow on effects.
