These are all games that have nothing to do with democracy. Just get rid of the electoral college and let the majority of the popular vote determine the winner (and if no one wins the majority have a run-off election with the top two candidates).
However you do have a reasonable point that the American political system itself is entirely a rigged system - the intent of its design being to control and oppress rather than to represent or empower.

Plus this increases the incentive for gerrymandering. I guess we should
retroactively award the Presidency to Romney considering he is the winner under this superior and more fair method.
