The Electoral Votes should be awarded automatically to the winner of each state, and should not be dependent upon the honor and integrity of the Electors. We've had "rogue electors" a few times recently, including one from DC in 2000 who abstained rather than voting for Gore. If we keep this antiquated ceremonial procedure in place, the next time we have an extremely close race, we're asking for trouble.

Keep the Electoral Votes, but ditch the Electoral College (that is, the human beings who convene in Washington to cast the votes).

I think I could go with this. (Until someone presents a convincing argument to the contrary) :^)
