1. End "winner-take-all" allocations of electoral votes

2. Any party that gains the minimum population/electoral vote (Wyoming puts that at ~200k) in any state is guaranteed at least one electoral vote in that state

3. All remaining electoral votes are allocated proportionally based on general election votes

4. If no majority winner exists, the party with the least number of electoral votes casts their vote to other party/ies and this repeats until a winner obtains 270.

Wouldn't this remove the spoiler effect, function within the current voting system, and off-set any perceived difficulty in rank voting to the actual parties?
