It may be difficult, but useless to claim impossible.
Could start the thinking by considering weighting the votes from the small
states, consistent with the advantage they get via the Electoral College.

For the same reason we have an Electoral College there's no way to get a
Constitutional Amendmendt on the ballot - such a suggestion would have to
pass the Senate, wherein even the smallest state has two representatives who
would be against the idea.
For the same reason the EC is bad, it can't ever be changed - it gives an
inordinate amount of authority to the "small" states, and those states, now
that they have it, are not likely to give it up.
