If We Dumped the Electoral College

You can go back to the mid-1800s, and find various people disgruntled over the way that the EC was functioning, and simply say nothing has changed over the years.

So if you dump the EC?  The election would be mostly about urbanized areas (Chicago, NY, Miami, Houston, Denver, SF, etc).  States like North Dakota or Idaho...wouldn't matter.

But if you were this crazy and foolish....why limit your change to only the EC?  Why not dump all fifty primaries in a two-week period....mid-June for example, force both parties to have a convention in early August, and just run the silly debate season (a year prior) to occur in May....two weeks prior to the election?
