[Happy Monkey]

I remember a proposal at one point where states would put a law on the books such that if the total number of electoral college votes of all the states with this law on the books was enough to win the presidency, then all of those states would put all of their electoral college votes towards the winner of the popular vote.

In the absence of an actual Constitutional Amendment removing the electoral college in favor of the popular vote, I'd support that.

Big states with lots of electoral power aren't going to give it up if nobody else does; this way they all jump in together, at a point where anybody who doesn't do it is irrelevant.
