I've heard this upcoming election will be decided by 5% of the population.

I hope you did not pay for that education.
The Electoral College was created in order for all states to be able to report their election results.
It would be impossible for the election to be decided by 5% of the population if people would go out and vote. But they are lazy, so anything is possible.
However, if it was not for the Electoral College there would be no campaigning anywhere other than NY, PA, FL, TX, CA, and IL. No one would waste their time campaining in OK, NV, NE, UT, SD, ND or any other small assed, no population state. Just hit the top 7 states and you will have it covered.
