The EC can be modified to be tied to counties rather than whole states. That system will be abused too though.
However the system is changed it should be in the direction of going away from mob rule and to giving everyone a voice that matters, otherwise Presidents will cater even more to coastal states as that is how you win.

That makes sense. But what about all those wasted conservative votes in California.

If it was modified to be county based they would finally have a say. And it would not be Urban areas deciding things for the other 99% of the country land wise.

Why would it seem that way to you when liberals win the popular vote when they win?
Clinton won the popular vote despite most counties going Trump.
Urban population is ever increasing, it's up about 10% since 1970. From 73% to 80%. I believe it is has gone up from the 80% as well over the past few years.
In 1920 only 5% of the US lived in urban cities. California is an extreme I believe 95% live in urban areas.

Sorry, end the rant, it's a necessary check and balance that no one cared about until Trump won. This is exactly why the Founding Fathers created it, the fear of the people being manipulated by tyranny. No surprise the tyrannical left hates it.
