The electoral college doesn't need to change. The two bigger problems to me are:
* Winner-takes-all means that in any state that is %60/%40, the 40%'s votes don't affect the election at all.
* Congressmen are representing too many people.
If more states worked like Nebraska and Maine, then people in rural counties in California could decide a few seats on the electoral college. And there's an amendment outstanding to change the number of representatives:

Ranked choice voting is also interesting, but I think not as important right now.
