The US is not a democracy. It is a representative republic. The EC was devised to be consistent with idea of a representative republic. The left doesn't get to kick that to the curb just because they lost one election.

I agree with you on the campaign financing laws. Get rid of tax favored status for PAC's and the favored tax treatment of political contributions. That would certainly be a good start.

Regardless of who's in power and who won, the Electoral College needs to go and the Senate needs to be proportion by population, the least populated states getting one ...

Regarding our being a republic of sovereign states, that was then and this is now. The Civil War set a precedent regarding holy state sovereignty.
