Getting rid of the electoral college would be fine, too, with the added benefit of everyone having an equal vote. The only “good thing” about just revamping it is keeping the facade for rural voters
The second good thing about revamping it is fixing the balance of power in the house, giving more (proportional) power to urban centers as well.
