Abolition of the electoral college will ensure that no candidate will pay any great amount of attention to small states. They will concentrate their efforts even more on the large population states and ignore the small ones. It is this tendency that the eectoral college was designed to counter. The Founding fathers were not stupid dead white men, despite the generally held beliefs of the liberals and MSM.

Not only no, but hell no. This is the agenda of SOCIALIM!!!!!!!!!
They do not want the fly over states to have anything to say in what happens in the White House.
A very few of our largest cities would decide who our president is. The rest of our votes would not count or matter. Diane Feinstein thinks all the people in the Red States are stupid. She thinks that we will vote away our right to decide who is our President. I think Sen Diane Feinstein is the stupid one for insulting us by acting as though we are going to buy into this fiasco, and we all know she is a hard core socialist.

I used to think that, too. The reality is that only the battleground states count. The three largest states - California, New York, Texas - were ignored in the last campaign. Here in Ohio, I saw the President on the Thursday AND Sunday before election day. Even Hawaii got more attention than some of the big states! I would think that states in the South and Plains that went big for GWB aren't happy that they never got a chance to see the President.

I really don't have any use for the EC, but whether we use popular vote or electoral vote is not going to make a difference most of the time.

Also note that if we had PV rather than EV, Boxer wouldn't be able to challenge Ohio's vote. She'd have to make a national challenge.
