Are we close to a tipping point for a Constitutional Amendment to end the Electoral College?

I don't agree at all with the point that a non-constitutional method of addressing a flaw in the constitution is better than amending the constitution. I think the reverse is true...if the constitution is flawed, the preferred way is to amend it, not subvert it through a pact between states and all of the cost and contortions associated with that.

The "cost and contortions associated with" the non-constitutional methods are less than with a constitutional amendment. The National Popular Vote bill is easier, faster, simpler, and just as effective.
