Let me clarify something. Are you really trying to get rid of the Electoral College because there is an actual inherent FLAW that you equate. OR are you mad that it did NOT work in your favor and seemingly doesnt in regards to POPULAR vote vs Electoral College.
Im very new to this, so bear with me. But in its very basic thought. The electoral college was designed to balance out the popular vote SHOULD one Majority state carry such a majority that it would TIP the balance of the OTHER remaining states
Small opposing states like Alaska, Delware, DC, Montana, North Dakoata, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming that have smaller populaces. WOULD easily drowned out or ECLIPSED.
the 2016 Elections was a PERFECT example of how and why the Electoral college was implemented. AS a single MAJORITY State should NOT dictate the will of the nation
HRC won California but a whopping 4,269,978 votes. OVER whelming That of course California having the HIGHEST population. This means JUST California Alone, had more popular votes than, Wyoming, Vermont, DC, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota COMBINED.
6 of the 50 states would be disregarded. If it was purely on the popular vote of ONE state.
With that . the Final over ALL popular vote was 2,864,903 for HRC, meaning a NET loss in regards to the other states of 1,405,075 votes.
SHE WON The Popular vote likely due to 1 state and 1 state Alone (not really but you get the net positive point) . Should that ONE state dictate the NATION's will? Due to its OVERWHELMING popular vote?
THAT again is the checks and balance of the EC? That seems fair.
OK the basics out of the way..... the revamp and redistribution.
1) Surely with the nation growing. Populations changing there should be consideration taken.
2) Concerns of Voter Fraud is where my hesitation to changing the basis of the EC
3) Popular Vote can dictate the EC distribution, BUT again going back to voter Fraud.
4) The Recent Census question update to validate POPULATION so as to revise the EC is LEGIT. BUT somehow its become a constitutional issue.
5) PERIOD, LEGAL US citizen should get a vote. Find out ALL legal US citizens, calculate the Fair EC and go forward. BUT the only way to know how many US citizens? Gotta ASK the damn questions....
Alas those that broke the law live in fear... those that done respect the law continue to break the law. THE EC was a balance much like the 3-Co Equal branches of the Governments. Same with the Constitution, one hellava document.... But because people will never be happy because if it does NOT go their way they cry foul......
Thats life
