Repair or Delete the Electoral College

Make presidential electoral voting proportional to the popular vote in Massachusetts.

Why is this important?

As we watched Al Gore win the popular vote in 2000 and "lose" the election in the Electoral College because of winner-take-all counting in most states, I thought, how is this possible and how can we change it? I learned that each state has the right to determine how their electoral votes are assigned, and that several already have proportional voting. Let's make this a practice here in Massachusetts.
