I would suggest that when you start to get serious about changing amendments around....why limit yourself to just the Electoral College? Why not amend it as well to limit Supreme Court Justices to 12 years of service? Why not limit states to just one Senator, with marginalized duties and functions? Why not arrange voting to occur in June, and the inauguration by early August? Why not add wording to the Constitution that limits overseas travel of Senators and Representatives to just ten days a year? There’s a whole bunch of things that people would get interested in and hyped up....if you were to open up this Pandora’s Box.

Why not propose those things?

First, states must appoint unserious delegates to the convention who would do nothing but make a mockery of the historic opportunity.

Second, the body at large must approve those proposed amendments to be sent to the states.

And third, 38 states have to approve those amendments one at a time.

That's a lot of hurdles for a wacky amendment to overcome.
