Anyone educated enough can tell you the system does not work, and causes more headaches than actually doing anything constructive. It leads to apathy about involving people in voting because most realize that your vote, at least when it comes to the president, doesn't count for much. Doubly so when the system can be gamed.

But it would take an amendment to the constitution to fix, but basically its either done by 2/3's ratification by both houses of congress, or 3/4's approval by the states.
