But then you would be more likely to have counties voting for other parties. The electoral college would actually make more sense with ranked voting.

The electoral college doesn't need to exist period. It's just bureaucratic nonsense. People vote, those votes are counted, then whomever got the most votes in that district is the winner. It doesn't need to go to another un-elected party who doesn't have to vote for the party of the person who actually won the district.
