    Electoral college vs ranked choice voting is a false dichotomy. You can do one, the other, both, or neither.

    The way to eliminating the electoral college, since it is enshrined in the constitution, is either a constitutional amendment changing to a popular vote method (highly unlikely), or the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

      And both ways involve the states that benefit from the disproportionate power choosing to give it up.
