There are different ways to assign the vote disproportionately without the flaws of the electoral college. Many countries give disproportionate geographical representation -- for example, in Canada the small provinces have both more senators (who aren't even elected anyway) and more representatives (who are elected) per capita. But the EC system seems specifically set up to allow for slow communications distances and no way to "check back" quickly with the sending jurisdiction. That specific need is long gone.
