There is no way for the electoral college to be eliminated short of a Constitutional Amendment and, as has already been pointed out, there is no way on earth such an amendment would have the support of the required number of states.

If you really want to think about Electoral college shenanigans, consider this: Part of the deal in making Texas a state was that it could, at any time, choose to divide into 5 separate states. That means that if they want to, Republicans can add at least 8 more safe electoral votes (for the 8 new senators) and 6-8 Republican Senators.
