(3,332 posts)Over the past 200 years, more than 700 proposals have been introduced in Congress to reform or eliminate the Electoral College without any becoming law.
Abolishing it would require a constitutional amendment, which I believe would require 3/4 of all of the states to be on board.

Unless and until at least 2/3 of all states have democratic governors and legislatures, there isn't a single chance of amending the Constitution.
