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.

I've been suggesting that instead of eliminating the Electoral College or bypassing it with schemes like the National Popular Vote compact, we incorporate electoral colleges in the several states as well.

The people still vote, but locally. The biggest cities in each state will no longer dominate the state. The Assembly itself will act as a statewide electoral college that gives all regions of each state a voice.

This plan also denies the National Popular Vote compact a statewide Presidential vote tally to be used for the compact's purposes. It would be grossly inappropriate to declare that the cumulative Assembly votes constitutes a proxy for the President, as each local vote for Assemblyman is based on local issues, and cannot be interpreted to be the voters' sentiment for the President.
