That's kind of by design. Republicans love it that way.Our current system, again imo, doesn't encourage full voter participation.
The electoral college is full scale, purposeful, voter suppression. It is institutionalized tyranny of the minority. Full stop. The dirt gets equal representation in teh senate. It's why Wyoming has the same number of senators as California, or New York, or Texas. If the dirt wants to win some elections, they should run with better ideas.
Want fair elections and participation? Start with automatic voter registration, stop disenfranchising people, make election day a holiday or institute mail in voting, make sure redistricting is non-partisan or hell, done by computer, end first past the post electioneering, institute ranked choice voting, and for fuck sake, overturn citizens united.......
I'm also open to the ideas of a parliamentary system, or mandatory voting.
