As Dan Lazare pointed out on my radio show last night, since the EC magnifies the vote of smaller states, it would be unimaginable that a sufficient number would agree to a consitituional amendment eliminating the EC. Eliminating the Senate, an even greater democratic imperative, is even more impossible, since that would require the consent of all 50 states.
