Got it. To get rid of the Senate, or really get rid of the EC rather than build a goofy and shaky way around it like the NPV plan, requires a constitutional amendment. And that requires ratifying by 38 states. Getting rid of the Senate would greatly harm the smaller states, and it would take just 13 of them to stop it.
So 13 states started it, and now 13 states can keep it.
