You will never get an amendment passed to change the electoral college, because it requires 3/4th of the states to ratify. Why would a small state vote to reduce it's voice in the election? It will never pass.

What would be smart? Texas still has the right to split up into 6 states. We all know that the area around Austin leans liberal, but the rest of the state is conservative. Can you imagine the shift in power if Texas split into 6 states, adding 2 more liberal/Democratic Senators, but adding 8 more conservative/Republican ones?

And the Electoral college count would also shift by 10, and 8 of them would lean Conservative/Republican.

Ah, the games that one can play.
