It seems like the smarter thing to do would be to just find a replacement for the electoral college. I think it had it's time, but we need something different now.

Totally agree, but in the current political climate it will never happen. The EC is the only reason the past few Republican presidents have even won (not counting the recent Trump win), so they will never vote for it, and it's not likely the Democrats will ever hold enough of a majority to push that change through themselves.
Yeah, that is a good point. It's wishful thinking though. I think it's flawed enough that people should really start looking harder at it.
