Bad news: fixing all this requires a broad coalition whose key aim is to restore balance, equity and accountability to the democratic process and winning elections anyway under conditions that disenfranchise voters.

The comparandum would, I think, be the term-limit movement of the 90s. But that largely failed, and it subsisted on an apartisan impulse that's vanished. As it is now, "election reform" can't escape being a Democratic project, and so a matter of narrow margins, not consensus.

Things have moved much further along now though, and there may well be a better shot at a small d consensus within the regular partisan voting. Though of course there’s no way to avoid the fact that it can only happen in one political party at the moment. That’s the tricky part.
