I strongly disagree.Make the USA election system more democratic and Democrats would rule. One aspect I refer to over and over is:

If every American had an equal vote for President this country would change enormously. Republicans don't want everyone to have an equal vote, because they'd lose so much power and money.

American democracy has serious flaws, but the Electoral College system doesn't make the Top Ten List. IMO.
Let me ask you a question.
If the wholesale disregard for most American's vote for President doesn't make your top 10, what is the tenth most important issue on your Top 10?
I'm not asking about your most important issue. I'm asking you, specifically, what is the 10th most important item on your list?
Again, I strongly disagree.Making voting mandatory would be a much bigger win.
While I would agree that every qualified person should vote, as able, I also understand that people have other issues. Why would you want to give the government the power to investigate the daily life of a single mother, juggling two jobs and two children, because she didn't make it to the polls before they closed? If that isn't what you meant, please explain what "Making voting mandatory" meant in that sentence.
Personally, I'd rather see voting made easy, safe, and most importantly, matter. Since you seem to differ, please explain what you think best.
