The electoral college was/is a system designed in such a way that acknowledges the real truth .... the President is elected by the States, not the people. At any point, a State can in theory change their Constitution to make their electoral votes assigned by a coin toss in stead of popular vote.
People don’t understand that each state is it’s own sovereign in addition to that of the Feds.
We would have to completely destroy our current Constitution to ever move away from the right of the States to choose their electors .... because the President is the executive of 50 States, not of 300 million peeps. No person has standing in the governance of the US, only a State does
