My idea for reforming the electoral college goes like this:
Let us take a state, called Sample State. Sample State has 100 Electoral Votes. Now, after a presidential election, the Democratic Candidate wins 45% of the vote, and the Republican Candidate wins 55% of the vote. Under the current system, the Republican would receive all 100 electoral votes. However, under my system, what would happen instead would be that the Republican would receive 55 electoral votes, and the Democrat would win 45 electoral votes. In short, the electoral votes would be distributed by proportion of the statewide popular vote, rather than being awarded by winner-take-all. This idea was also proposed in Colorado as a referendum in 2004, but was defeated.
