For practicality and efficiency, it might be a good idea to keep a framework of the Electoral College. A nationwide recount of the popular vote if it's really close would be mayhem. A recount in one state alone under current rules can be chaos, as seen in 2000, so just imagine that amplified by 50. At the same time, it's hard to find much worse electoral systems than first past the post, so a reform of the way individual states award their votes is necessary as well.
Maybe it could start with IRV by individual states, but then the electoral votes by state were awarded proportionally based on the results between the two remaining candidates (statewide, not by district).
