Well for one, even though it was hundreds of years ago, our founding fathers were very intelligent about this process.
They knew that large cities (like LA and NYC) would sway in only one direction. So big cities would literally dictate the election, and the ordinary non-city folks would get left out. They knew that people living in these huge cities would be out of touch with the ordinary person in the Midwest, for example.... If we didn't have the electoral college, every president would go democrat by default, because of the immigration situation in California, Etc.... So many reasons to have Electoral College in the U.S., only reason not to is because you would want the democrats to always win...sorry but that is unfair.
