"Electors DO vote based on the popular vote.....OF THEIR STATE!"

Well, most do....but I seem to recall that at least one state allocates their electoral vote by the majority vote of the specific Congressional district that they represent. Two additional electors are selected "at large", and they do cast their vote according to the state vote majority.

I actually like the above approach a LOT, as it represents the peoples wishes more closely than even a state majority vote.
