How do you expect electoral reform to happen, when the people elected were elected because of the current electoral system?

Meaningful electoral reform via the current electoral system is a wish.

I expect it to happen first at the state level, in states where the people have reserved the power to alter the State Constitution and laws to themselves without requiring the involvement of elected officials in other than ministerial roles.
