Why is the Senate a good idea and the electoral college a bad one?
Because the electoral college works at the wrong resolution. A simple fix to the system would be to remove the "winner-takes-all" aspect of state votes. The electoral votes of a state should be split up based on that states popular vote; however, the round-off error becomes a large issue. I think an even better idea would be to elect by congressional district, one vote per disctrict. That would solve the issue where states with large cities end up discounting the views of the rest of the state.
