Getting rid of the EC would be unfair to states like Wyoming & Vermont.

Because those states have so much influence on presidential elections right now?

As originally envisioned, the electoral college benefited small states by giving them disproportionate representation. That pretty much went out the window when every state switched over to a popular vote while maintaining winner-takes-all apportionment.
