That's the idea behind an initiative that's gotten going out here.

The problem being that doing it by popular initiative is probably unconstitutional. The manner of selection is given solely to the State legislatures.

Article 2, Sec 1: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors..."

Good point. I really don't know how that's been (or is being) addressed.
