2 down. 17 to go. And here in Michigan, 16 gop "leaders" who were talked into signing bogus documents " as "electors", in case they were" needed" (after pence disallowed some votes) indicted on 8 counts each of what amounts to election fraud. Not only must the electoral college go, but djt must be prohibited from being a candidate or elected to any type of office. Along the way how parties select candidates must change. The primary system run by the parties often means the most rabid candidates win especially when turnout is typically low OR limited often to only those voters registered officially as party members. This process skews who candidates are in the general. There is plenty to fix where our political system is concerned. And I haven't even mentioned gerrymanders or SCOTUS.
Open primaries with ranked-choice voting will pretty quickly weed out the really insane candidates. We need to pass enhanced voting rights acts and eliminate gerrymandering. The Electoral College may be on the way out anyway - Texas (in spite of its recent draconian laws) is still gaining moderate and more liberal voters as more out-of-state people and Latinos move here for jobs. When Texas goes blue for national elections, that will give a successful Democratic candidate 1/3 of the electoral votes needed to win the White House - no really conservative candidate could ever win the presidency without these two states. Even the most conservative Republicans will then see the wisdom of pushing a constitutional amendment to eliminate the Electoral College.

3 down. Next Flipper? Possibly JENNA.
I would list her most likely. She has no money and her Christian GofundMe isn't raising diddly for her defense.
