Actually the reason for the Electoral College was that the Founding Fathers - who went from considering a monarchy to wanting to give the right to vote to only wealthy landowners to then deciding to give it to all white males lest they take up arms and continue on with the Revolution - were concerned that the masses, being uneducated ignoramuses, may end up electing a populist despot like a Trump. The Electoral College can thus opt for a more suitable candidate.
A second reason was the concern that lesser States might whine about getting eclipsed by more populated States in votes, so the EC was a way of appeasing them.
The EC in all but 2 States is winner takes all, so only the highest number of votes tallied for a candidate count, the rest are voided, in effect doing on a State level what it is supposed to counter on a Federal level.
Interesting stuff you're saying, but not sure why you're commenting on a dead meme that no one else will see, especially with an OP who's stupid enough to think you're my alt.
