Not sure about what you detail in the post and Canada, but as for the electoral college in the US, I think the problems with vote counting and procedures seem to point to it still being a good idea. In this way if there is a significant problem with the election in one state, the electors can take the problems into consideration when they vote and not hold up the entire country's process while courts figure it all out. An equally valid argument could be made for it not being representative though, so maybe there needs to be some regulation on how the electors "decide" to vote.
