Comment on Could Joe Biden use his remaining time as president of the US to do away with presidential pardons?

not sure but the first thing I’d recommend changing is the first past the post voting system

The president doesn’t control that. The federal government doesn’t even control that.
That’s a state by state situation.

Correct:
US Constitution, Article 1, Section 4
Technically there’s no requirement that any of the citizens of a state be allowed to vote in their state’s elections.

A guy I know argues that a ‘better system’ would that the individual shouldn’t be able to vote in higher tier elections. The individual should be able to vote for their local reps. Local reps vote for the fewer regional/county reps, those vote for state, and state then vote for congressional, who then vote and elect the president.
But, if you think Russian (or enemy nation states) were able to infiltrate and sway the 2024 presidential election across 130 million voters… how easy do you think it’d be to do the same across Congress? Hell, they’ve already infiltrated that.
