We should repeal the 12th Amendment.
Could you imagine Bill Clinton with George HW Bush or Bob Dole as VP or G.W. Bush with Al Gore or John Kerry as VP?
If we do go to a popular vote, we could let people vote for two individuals.  There is little risk of tie.

Actually, I think there's a case to be made under the one-man one-vote set of cases that electors, if elected by the people instead of selected by the legislature without a popular vote, would have to come from single member districts.  No one's chosen to do that, but I think they'd have an excellent chance of doing so.
At-large and multi-member elections are not inherently in violation of the one-man, one-vote decisions.
