The only change I'd like to see in the Electoral College is that the input to it from the Senate should be removed. This gives the less populous states a skewed advantage that their population doesn't warrant. Votes from the Electoral College should be assigned only according to the House of Representatives, which is reflective of the population.
The political clout of small population states is already allowed for in the construction of the Senate itself. It is an unfair advantage for them to have the same clout in the Electoral College.
Any guesses as to who our next President would be were it done this way in the last election?
