Of course, you're right about how proportional representation works today - what I was thinking about was how Congress would vote if no candidate got a majority of the Electors - which is what the Founding Fathers contemplated. In that case, each state's delegates to Congress votes as a whole. mises.org What you call "the winner-take-all element of the Electoral College system" is a misnomer. Each state determines how its electors are selected. If any state legislature wanted to abolish popular vote for the President, and vote directly for Electors, it could do so.
