Do you mean they don't assume the common people would be able to vote intelligently, or that the common people really can't?
Either way, not really, IMO. The problem is, though, that the EC isn't really electing electors to make the decision, anymore. You voted for the elector, not the candidate's elector back then. So even though voters are still mostly ignorant, the system isn't working as designed.
