Ranked Choice Voting

Maine and Alaska have the ball rolling

Without explaining it in detail, first I will say first that our two-party system is failing America. Our two-party system is broken and frequently the winning candidate does not get a majority of the votes. The winning candidate should get a majority of the votes. That is possible when you can vote for more than one person. Literally it means you could vote for everyone on a ticket except one person and your odds of placing your vote towards the winning candidate have just soared. Right now, there are two states Alaska and Maine that have ranked choice voting. It means you can vote for more than one person, and you don't have to vote along party lines. 

The last election in Michigan for senator resulted in the Democratic Party candidate winning by 20,000 votes when there were 200,000 votes for independent candidates. This means the election could have gone in either direction. 

Here is a good link to a complete explanation of ranked choice voting.
