Congress doesn't have the votes to amend the Constitution to do away with the Electoral College and substitute popular vote, probably never will. Set up that way for a reason. We've always been a Constitutional Republic, not a true democracy. Probably always will be. Pure democracy is mobocracy, thought the Founding Fathers, and that was back when only a few could vote, compared to now. You can't change the Constitution with pure popular vote, need two thirds of the states. Ironic, what? Think Wyoming, Alaska, North Dakota will lose any sleep because New York city vote and LA vote don't have the same effect as they would if the President was selected by popular vote? Ha!
