We can ignore the electoral college system and replace it with
direct election.  No need to change the US Constitution by adding
an amendment (to do away with the 12th amendment).

The voters have their say, with the candidate getting the most
popular votes being declared the winner.  No need for a second
election, or a third, as the likelihood of a tie would be slim
to none, closer to none.
