As I've said before...we are a federal government system, as in a federation of states.
The Electoral College protects smaller states voices from being drowned out by the larger more populous states.
It is also the reason why every state is guaranteed two U.S. Senators regardless of population.
The argument presented here is that the electoral college gives some votes more weight than others.
So does the Senatorial System. California has two Senators representing a population of 36 million.
South Dakota has two Senators representing 812,000.
The reason, as we all know, is to protect the voice of the smaller states by keeping the largest most populous states from receiving an unfair advantage in congress.
The exact same reason we have an electoral college instead of direct popular vote.
Checks and balances.
