One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    State congresses should start trying to push a state led consitutional amendment (under the federal convention method) to reform the college to a ranked choice system where parties put up second choice votes if their candidate fails, proportional electors and a ban on gerrymandering etc.

        I think 40 states would be on board for a gerrymandering ban for congressional districts, if that gets through it would be a matter of building on that.
