So...I've been seeing this push by the left to get rid of the electoral college. There is one huge reality that seems to be completely missed, or just not understood. Yes, Hillary won the popular vote but that's because of an extremely populous and bias state in California, giving Hillary 2.7 million more votes than Trump.
So the left sees this popular vote and thinks that means something. It doesn't. It really, really doesn't. To get rid of the EC it would take a constitutional amendment. Guess what that will take? 2/3 of the states ratifying it. Trump won 30 states with is 60% of the states. The cold hard reality is that there is only one party that is anywhere close to amending the Constitution and it's Republicans.
Further, as was pointed out in another thread, Republicans crushed Democrats in state level legislators and executives.

If even in Democrat favorable years, they are no where close to making any amendments to the Constitution. So settle in, people, nothing is changing in your favor anytime soon but it may change against you, if anything.
