Is the electoral vote a recent political event as an example of the constitution?

The electoral college is absolutely mentioned in the Constitution (Article 2, Section 1); since it is constitutionally mandated, this means that even though some modern people think it is outdated and would like to see it abolished, such changes are unlikely to happen at any time soon. (To change it would require an amendment to the Constitution, and that takes time to achieve.)
