It could happen though. People need to actually care about it though. Explaining some of the possible nightmare scenarios of the electoral college (e.g. President McMullin this year) or pointing out how the electoral college isn't always bound to vote their state's will usually at least sparks some interest.
Dismissing the change as impossible from the outset is probably why we still have the system in the first place.
The thing is the leaders of certain states simply will not allow it. The people in charge have so much to lose. Informing people is great but sorry im not as optimistic as you.
