Or....We could just go by popular vote and require that the popular candidate must have 50% of the vote or more... If not impose a run off vote between the top two...

But trying to sell that idea isn't going to work either...

Getting rid of the electoral college would take a Constitutional amendment.

Reference sources indicate that over the past 200 years, over 700 proposals have been introduced in Congress to reform or eliminate the Electoral College. There have been more proposals for Constitutional amendments on changing the Electoral College than on any other subject.

To change how a state's electors are governed you would have to change the laws in those states.

Changing the laws in each state would be easier than trying to pass a Constitutional amendment...
