As stated in the 2001 article, it would take a Constitutional amendment to make even the slightest change, let alone scrap the system. And amendments are extremely hard to get passed. That is why any reform of the Electoral College will most likely occur at the state level. The Constitution gives state legislatures some control over the actual mechanics of the system, most importantly, the manner of choosing electors.

Right now, 48 states and the District of Columbia choose their electors using an at-large popular vote (also known as the winner-take-all system). That means that whichever candidate wins the most votes in a state gets all of that state's electoral votes. Two states, Maine and Nebraska, choose their electors using a district popular vote. In this system, the winner of each congressional district wins an electoral vote, and the at-large winner of the entire state gets an additional two electoral votes. The Constitution leaves the method to be used in the hands of the state legislatures.

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has created a regularly updated repository, called the Database of Election Reform Legislation, that details what election reform proposals have been considered in the various states . You can search the database by state, by category, or using your own search criteria. Below is a synopsis of some of the proposals that deal with the Electoral College.
