But I won't harp on those issues.
Removing the EC would certainly remove the perception of disenfranchisement in the presidential election. A side effect is it would curtail the electoral power of states with lower populations. I get the arguments against it, but I think the EC fits our system of government well, giving even small states (population wise) a significant voice in our elections. If you're talking about state legislatures and HoR seats being assigned by percentages of votes, I quite like the idea.
