Double genius...they thought that up too!The reasons the Dims have for getting rid of the electoral college are exactly the reasons why we have the electoral college.
Regardless, you would need a Constitutional amendment to eliminate it and 2/3 of the states are not going to ratify an amendment that would remove their say in Presidential elections.
According to the United States Constitution, specifically Article V, a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is required to propose an amendment; meaning, the framers of the Constitution effectively wrote this provision.
