Agreed. Eliminating the electoral college would certainly dampen the importance of states like Iowa, Colorado, and Minnesota. Here in Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, etc. we probably wouldn't even notice a difference when it came to the presidential election. The other thing that needs to happen to fix presidential politics is open ranked choice primaries. Everyone votes for their top 2 or 3 candidates, regardless of party affiliation. This would quickly pull politics back to the center.
