From my reading:
It will take ⅔ of both House and Senate to approve a proposal to abolish the Electoral College, then ¾ of States must ratify it. That would change the Constitution permanently.
Otherwise, States can agree to lock the Electors to the national popular vote for POTUS, as some States have done already. That's a temporary fix, easily reversed by States later when blue flips back to red.
Republicans are never going to go along with either version, as it pretty well guarantees there will never be another Republican President.
All up, unless I'm missing something, this makes a permanent fix impossible. That's a bit depressing.
