So You've Decided The Electoral College Has Got To Go

And I concur.

It's completely doable. Here's how:

1. Get your state legislature to adopt the National Popular Vote scheme. In this system, a state would pledge its electors to whoever won the national vote. States have the authority to do this if they wish, but would have to change their respective state laws to move it forward. Some have, some haven't. If yours hasn't, push your state legislators to do so.

– or –

2. Amend the Constitution. Here's what that takes: 

Article 5, US Constitution:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

Obviously that's not going to happen, but we can hope.

And by the way…the Democrat's ability to stop Constitutional Amendments from going forward is hanging by a razor thin thread, something that has not been widely reported.
