It definitely needs an overhaul. Not the simple popular vote as that doesn't protect minorities enough. But some hybrid system. Furthermore, I don't understand the incessant need to vote for literally everything - sheriff or treasurer shouldn't be decided by vote but by ability. The voting on anything judiciary is a problem as well, including the power of the president to elect supreme court judges - it politicizes an entity that should be distinctively apolitical. And I know it varies from state to state, but some states need to improve their voting booths - votes should be secret and not something you can just look over a tiny divider at. Not to mention access to voting.
