The Misunderstood Electoral College (2018) (paulbutler.org)

(2018) Not that much has changed since then.

For idealists who need a very short & simple chain of logic to their heartfelt "Things are not fair!" conclusion, or a "what if" game mechanic for their dreams of a better world, the Electoral College is just about perfect.

More realistically - in a country with lots of major problems, and very limited resources to try to deal with those, Electoral College reform is a time-wasting distraction.
