The founding fathers were wise to develop the Electoral College and the system seems to work quite well.

It’s too bad that it will eventually be abolished asap, thanks to the ongoing leftist political dominance at the federal level and, soon, at the judicial level as well. Sad.

And the Founders left it to the states to determine how they allocate their electoral college votes. If a state wants to give its votes to the national popular vote winner, fine.

Unless the states constitution states how the electoral votes is to be awarded, there is no constitutional problem with this. Or using a coin toss to allocate the votes.
