Abolishing the Electoral College would require a constitutional amendment. The amending process requires a high level of agreement amongst Congress/states to get one added to the Constitution. Any proposed amendment would need 2/3rds vote from both houses of Congress, so 290 votes in the House, 67 in the Senate. Then it goes to the states and 3/4ths, or 38 states, need to ratify it to be added. A tall order indeed, which is why after the Bill of Rights, there have only been 17 more added to the Constitution. While Clinton makes some interesting arguments and agrees it'd be challenging to develop a new system for voting for president, in reality, IMO, it's never going to happen. Not in this political climate at least. With the way the two parties are currently structured, the Democrats would dominate more than likely and the Republicans, I'm sure, are fully aware of this.
