See the 2016 election with a number of faithless electors for the most recent example. Some states require electors to vote how the people vote, but not all.

Also, Maine and Nebraska don't always give all the electoral votes to the same candidate. I'm not sure the process in those states, though.

I don't really have much of an opinion on how the election could be better, but there are some interesting ideas.

I wrote my comments specifically with Maine and Nebraska in mind. They don't do exactly what I suggested with a proportional apportionment, but it's closer to that, and better for it. If every state did what they do, the electoral college would be a non-issue.
