We need to move it to a proportional system, where people vote for the party not the candidate. I practically have no representative in the house because I live in a solidly red district that's not going to vote out their candidate. They have no reason to try to even appeal to me or other liberals in my district. As long as they serve the conservative agenda, they'll keep getting re-elected. My vote for representative does absolutely no good.
So if we're going to keep the electoral college so that small states can feel important, then we need to change how we vote for the house, so people in districts don't feel like their voice doesn't matter.
There is another option. Have the popularly elected governors of the state appoint the electors.
