Electoral college, should it be eliminated? Options

Should the electoral college be eliminated?

with it, a person could loose every state by 1 vote except california, and win california by a landslide and then loose the race.

with it, democrats in red states feel thier vote doesn't count, and republicans in blue states feel thier vote doesn't count.

if the electoral college were to be eliminated, then everyone's vote would count.

I didn't read any of the comments posted before this one, but I will post anyway.

I used to think that the American governmental system could do without the Electoral College, but I have recently come to realize that we need it in order to have fair elections.

In case there is an election that is too close to call (i.e: only by a few hundred or thousdand votes, like in the Election of 2000), we need to have the electoral system in order to avoid a messy political race.

I do believe that we should explore more options to the Electoral College, but what we have right now is the best we've got.
