No, didn't miss it, but I guess it's more I view the EU as... I don't want California and Washington to decide what is legal or not in Ohio, but on a larger scale. Just doesn't feel right.
The President has never been not elected by the Electoral College, and the Electoral College for a State has never chosen a President their State didn't vote for. It's not really indirect, it's just in a manner that one State feeling REALLY strongly about something doesn't wipe out the opinion of multiple other States.
