I admit I may be missing something but wouldn't making the Electoral College vote proportional be the same as just taking the popular vote?

That's exactly right. That's why the Dems are trying to make the electoral vote proportional in only Republican leaning states. Instead of getting votes based on the popular vote of the country, they'd skew it even further in their direction. And they're fighting for it by claiming that voters are being disenfranchised in those states.

To modify - I think it should be proportional if there is no winner over 50%. Secondly I have zero respect for those people appointed to be in the electoral college. They are party hacks and their appointments make a mockery of the college system. Make it a point system at least.
