The Electoral College was put in place to help stop the large population states form riding roughshod over smaller states. It looks to me that the states are getting rid of the Electoral College to get away form majority rules so they can slip losers in and stop groups like Conservatives form having much of a voice. The republicans have changed the rules of their convention to shut out voices form other groups also.

In Michigan the delegate allocation rules were changed the night after the primary to save Lord Mitt the indignity of a tie.
