Yes, but the electoral college has basically never functioned in that manner. People rightly argued that they should get what they vote for, thus electors in most states are legally bound to vote for the winning candidate.
There should be a role against winner take all. All of California doesn't vote Dem and all of Texas doesn't vote fascist. A proportional electoral college would have a more center left leaning.
