End the Electoral College?

[Aegon]

While I do feel the electoral college is rather undemocratic, I don't think getting rid of it is a good idea either.

Clinton won about 60% of California. California's population is roughly 37 million (using total pop vs voting pop for simplicity). That means Clinton would get a little more than 22 million and Trump would get 15 million. Trump would have to win nearly 100% of the 8 least populated states to make up for that. That would give big, populated states a lot of power. Although the EC system favors smaller states it allows them to have a say in the system that would be impossible in a popular system.

I think states should be able to split their electoral votes, like Nebraska and Maine already can.
