While the electoral college is certainly an anachronism, I think it's mostly harmless in that the votes are apportioned by population.

The US Senate is far more problematic, IMHO. Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Delaware and Alaska all have significantly less than 1 million residents. Yet they all get 2 Senators just like New York, California and Texas who each have over 20 million residents (CA has over 35 million). DC has more people than Wyoming and gets zero.

Put that in your hookah and smoke it.
