The electoral college was designed for this very purpose... to ensure that all states have a say in the election and that the largest population centers in the country (in today's case, NY and CA) don't control the outcome of every general election.
I would be open to changing the electoral college from the winner-take-all system that is currently in place to a proportional-result based on percentage of overall vote in each state similar to how many state primaries are run, which would give 3rd party candidates a fighting chance in a general election, but that's as far as I'd go. No way should the electoral college be abolished.
