From my reading:
It will take ⅔ of both House and Senate to approve a proposal to abolish the Electoral College, then ¾ of States must ratify it. That would change the Constitution permanently.
Otherwise, States can agree to lock the Electors to the national popular vote for POTUS, as some States have done already. That's a temporary fix, easily reversed by States later when blue flips back to red.
Republicans are never going to go along with either version, as it pretty well guarantees there will never be another Republican President.
All up, unless I'm missing something, this makes a permanent fix impossible. That's a bit depressing.

Francesca Albanese:
"Israel has always killed children, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, the use of torture, even rape. The first time rape was committed against Palestinians was in 1948".
Israeli snipers "are entertaining themselves in slaughtering kids in a given way. It's brutal."
Albanese was speaking at Ireland's Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs

“Mississippi voter turnout skyrocketed this year — bringing Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom close to an unlikely win — despite perhaps the nation’s most restrictive voting system.
“Over 950,000 votes had been counted in the race as of Thursday morning, with 10,000 or more still to come. That’s compared to just 710,000 total votes in the last midterms — when Misssissippi ranked dead last in the nation for turnout.
“It’s an increase of an eye-popping 35%.”
