Opening the field to multiple parties would require each of the states to make changes to their individual election procedures.
Note for those unfamiliar with the US election system: We don’t have National Elections. We have State Elections. See the US Constitution, Article 2, section 1.
These changes would require the politicians in each state to give up some of their power. They are, of course, famous for doing this.
Some, but by no means all, states allow for the citizens of the state via a Resolution process to push through changes to the state constitution and laws. Such things are rarely popular among the political classes and are often blocked.
The other possibility would be for a new Amendment to the US Constitution to nationalize elections.
