Proportioning the Electoral vote would never work. Each state can have as many candidates as they want. What if a state had 20 candidates and 4 electoral votes? With a large group of candidates, the election would never end. Each state has the right to elect any candidate they choose. When it is time to choose the President, they should only get to vote for one candidate.

The system works as it is. The political circus that is happening now will end and the country will go on. Attempting to change the Constitution because of an isolated event is reckless.
