The most likely way to neuter the Electoral College would be the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (goes to Wikipedia).

The idea is since states are allowed to distribute their electoral votes any way they choose, each state enters into a compact that requires that state to cast all its EC votes for the popular vote winner nationally.

The compact comes into force when 270 electoral votes worth of states sign it into law.

I agree that this is the practical way to get it done. However, the EC favors Republicans (despite Trump’s whining to the contrary), so I don’t see this happening.
