Definitely keep the Electoral college, but going nationwide to a 2 at large 1 per CD system, a system of single member ED's, or using PV on a state by state basis would all be improvements.

The Electoral College keeps the small states semi-relevant during Presidential elections. The Constitution wouldn't have gotten past without it. Ya got to keep it or all the small states are leaving.

If the small states leave, the small states die. (definitely economically, perhaps literally)

That only matters if the small states have an economy. Vermont had repulsed New York's efforts to claim it.
