The Electoral College keeps the small states semi-relevent 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)
Even if they all leave together?
