Abolishing the Electoral College would lead to California giving every Presidential election to the Democrats.

Abolish the stinkin' College. They are hacks with bad breath.

Count the vote by congressional district. One EV per CD carried, plus two extra for carrying the majority of a state's CDs, or the state's popular vote in the event of a tie in CDs. But no electors! Make the electoral vote automatic, based on the relevant popular votes.

In that system, stealing votes in an available urban cesspool at most steals a CD, not a whole state.

In that system, the Donald would probably have received 15 EVs from California!

But don't hold your breath. The change would require a constitutional amendment.

In the meantime, dissolve the Union if the election does not come out as voted!!

The Constitution doesn’t mandate how the states select their electors. See Nebraska and Maine.
