Another way of affecting the voting balance would be extending the right to vote to felons. I think this already has something of a campaign in the US and maybe isn’t as controversial as compulsory voting.
I was going to add that the 2000 and 2016 both had bad candidates lose the popular vote but win the general election so we should think about replacing the electoral college with a popular vote. But looking at all of American history, only four out of sixty presidential elections have had this kind of outcome. So abolishing the electoral college probably isn’t worth the cost of pushing it, even though there’s a fairly good way to get there (NPVIC).
