The problem is not really the relative vote weighting in the electoral college, but the fact that nearly all states in the EC are winners-takes-all.
If you instead awarded EC votes proportionally, you'd largely wind up aligning with popular vote entirely. It'd also make more states more competitive, since it is much easier to move the margin on one electoral vote rather than say 55.
