The ten states with the largest populations out number the combined population of of all of the other states. If the movement to abolish the Electoral College is successful, the President could be elected by the people in the ten largest states and the voice of the people in the remaining states would be irrelevant.
This tyranny of the large states over the smaller states was the reason the Electoral College was created.
The President is not elected by the people directly. The people in a single election, elect the President in 50 different elections in each of the 50 states.
