QUORA: ‘How do we get rid of the Electoral College forever?

QUORA *: ‘How do we get rid of the Electoral College forever?

I posted this answer:

There is only one way that I know of—amend the Constitution (though I think that would be a mistake given that the College is an integral part of governmental checks and balances).

I might add that the proposed “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact,” should it ever be adopted, does not do away with the Electoral College. It just reorients its application. The popularly elected state legislatures would still hold the Article 2, Section 1 authority to appoint the Electors.
