But it is a government of the people, right? If the winner is not the person chosen by the people, then that is negated. The SCOTUS precedence is that the Constitution creates a government over the people, not an agreement between states. In fact, it was intentionally created it that way because they tried that and it failed. If the all of the people have the ability to learn about the candidates for POTUS, then each person should have an equal vote for the position.
