Enact legislation correcting the daft Citizens United USSC ruling.
Enact legislation establishing campaign season limits/finance regulation modeled on UK processes.
Enact legislation forbidding lobbyist-generated legislative proposals, and limiting lobbyist Capitol building access to that afforded citizens not employed by corporations.
Enact legislation establishing committee’s comprised of an equal number of members of the two major parties for determining state voting district maps, subject to approval/resolution of ties by state supreme courts. Perhaps also a national oversight committee for all the states, or one per every ten states (5 total national oversight committees), for districting maps dispute review/settlement.
Enact revised election procedures/schedules which enable multi-day ballot site access; site access distribution not intentionally located by state/county/city officials to result in favor/harm to any candidates/voters; enable voting by mail/internet as already existing/enacted without opportunity for cheating in several US states and in other democracies (Australia for internet voting)
All of the changes in the five paragraphs above will minimize the extremely undue influence presently afforded Wealth, increase the influence of Joe and Jane Main Street/Country Lane voters, and permit politicians elected at national, state, and local levels to be far less obligated to serve the interests of (maintain funding from) Wealth while also freeing them to broaden their scope of cognition to the interests of at least a majority of ALL the citizens within the Republic instead of only primarily those who comprise Wealth.
Libertarians and Christian Nationalists (often one and the same) will oppose these ideas as harmful to their totalitarian agendas, giving too much influence to the undeserving. Those agendas deserve all the harm possible to inflict upon them, and the rest of us deserve the opportunity to achieve fair and reasonable societal outcom

After watching the way the Eagles & refs beat the Dolphins, I’d say the SB fix is already completed!
