I think it is a good idea to split the votes of the states via percentage of popular vote. I think we would go that route over removing the electoral college, although I could certainly see it leading to that. It might need to be an interim step.
The only downside is the math. I have a feeling there would be way too many lawyers and recounts involved to see if you could swing one vote the other way.
