but if we get rid of the electoral college, a few provincial morons in states that won't matter wouldn't be able to matter anymore. the horror!

Nothing to worry about, electoral college or not it would still be just as nigh-impossible to get genuine majoritarian rule under the US' and broader western "liberal democracy's" system.
