If anything, the EC should be strengthened.

It should be the majority of counties, the state goes to the winner.

How many times have Chicago, NYC, and LA had their states go to the Dem, when the rest of the state is red?

IIRC, Hillary only won about 16% of the counties in the country

Given that the EC is comprised of the number of House members (435) plus the number of Senators (100) plus three for DC, it would seem best to allow EC votes to be cast as:

Popular vote in the HOUSE DISTRICT casts the vote allocated to that district.
Popular vote in the State casts the two votes allocated to state.
Three in DC cast for the winner of the popular vote in DC.

Just sayin’

This is the perfect argument for keeping the EC.
