Thank God that our forefathers had the insight to establish an electoral college. They understood the importance of the rural population not being dictated to by dense population centers that could be easily manipulated by government fiat. America is a Constitutional Republic with regional representatives...NOT a democracy driven by social fads. God help us to return to our roots!!
The Electoral College has already been effectively circumvented by some states. They have made it a rule that their Electoral Colleges should vote according to the nationwide popular vote.
No need for a change to the Constitution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact
OK. I am not an expert on the Constitution but I believe that the members of the Electoral College can vote however they like. is that not true?
It is usual to choose people that will vote for the candidate that won the popular vote but that is not set in concrete so all they need to do is exercise their votes differently.

The founders viewed democracy like we view communism today. Democracy = Communism.
