My claim is it doesn't matter if it is the best. The goal of the game isn't to pick the best president or congress critter. The goal is to make a game for the power-hungry to play, and increase the incentives for the power-hungry to benefit the rest of us and hurt us less.
From that perspective, things look different. The problem with the presidential electoral college isn't that it doesn't follow the popular vote, it is that entire chunks of the country don't matter (vote-wise) to a president of a particular stripe.
Some of those areas matter money-wise, but money isn't the same as votes.
