The main issue is not the electoral college per se, but the winner-take-all rules. A couple of states, including Maine, have their electors proportionally allocated to the candidates according to the popular vote. In most states, the candidate who wins the most popular votes, even only 50%, gets all the electors. Having proportional allocation of electors makes your vote relevant in all elections.
