If the president were elected by popular vote, the particular needs of
individual states would be completely ignored in the election and
administration. My own state with a little less than five million people
would never see a presidential candidate darken our borders. The candidates
would prostitute themselves to California, New York, Florida, and a few
other states and ignore the rest of the country since we'd play only a minor
role in elections.





Couldn't have said it better myself. The Electoral College was one of the
solutions that
convinced the original colonies to sign on to the idea of becoming one nation
in the first
place.
