You could remove the particular problem by removing the electors and just going with the electoral votes themselves. Would require a contitutional change though. So 10 times in history (out of about 21,000 electors in history) an elector has not voted with the majority from their state.
Don't really care myself whether we have the electoral system or not. i don't find a strict popular vote to be either more or less fair than the current system.
Democracy can work in many ways. How about Canada? They don't even vote directly for their prime minister.
