The electoral college was adopted when there was what 13 states? Maybe the difficulty of calculating a national popular vote in 1789 was a reason for the EC? Either way. A lot of people didn't even have the right to vote back then. We have made some progress in this country since our founding.

Actually, as I understand the electoral college was put in place to balance the vote between the rural areas and the populated areas, so as the people living in the country weren't controlled by what the people in the city needed for laws and governance.
