If we can get enough grass roots support, and get enough state legislators to pass the national popular vote legislation, which requires electors in states to vote the way the popular vote went, then we, in effect, have eliminated the relevance of the electoral college. And all we need are state legislators in enough states that make up 270 electoral votes to pass this legislation, and governors to sign off, and viola, direct democracy in the presidential election!
