16. Which is why I suggested states could on their own change how they apportion EC votes

Make it proportional to how the popular vote went in their state instead of winner take all. That way ALL the votes in a given state would reflect the will of their voters and be counted.

As it is now with winner take all, Michigan's EC votes all went for Trump, even though he won by a relatively narrow margin. If the EC votes in states were awarded proportionally, my vote for Harris would have counted. Any state could change that at any time right now as you noted
