Nonsense. We are LITERALLY talking about the Electoral College, which, the last time I looked, was still in existence. "John C. Calhoun" has nothing to do with it.
In any case, the exact same rationale for the Electoral College still exists: small states don't want to be bullied by large ones.
Since getting rid of the Electoral College would require a constitutional amendment, and there's no way one of those is going to pass without the support of the smaller states, it is Never. Going. To. Happen.
John C. Calhoun be damned.
