Richard, the Brookings Institution agrees that the Electoral College is an unjust and outdated system. That’s why they found the best way to abolish it:

Here’s what they found:
Over 80% of Democrats recognize the flaws in the Electoral College and support abolishing it in favor of a National Popular Vote. And 89% of those respondents want a constitutional amendment to get rid of it!
But the vast majority of Republicans oppose changing anything about it. They benefit from the Electoral College and its skewed representation.
That’s why the states have a plan to bypass Congress, ignore Mitch McConnell, and elect the popular vote winner directly. It’s called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. And we’re 72.6% of the way to making it law.
