I mean, if you're interesting in talking about how we might tweak the electoral college, I'm open to that discussion. I'm sure it isn't perfect. But I definitely think it's preferrable to a national popular vote.
I do believe there's a granularity issue, that perhaps an electoral-collegy system based on congressional district sized regions might be better. But states aren't gerrymanderable and congressional districts are, and I think that's one of their great virtues as electoral regions.
