The electorial system is a compromise by the founding fathers
to make sure that the less populous states get their share of funding, representation and attention by presidents.

Otherwise, only states like CA, NY, TX, FL, IL would get the attention,
and out of 50 states...that's not good.

We need to keep it to keep a balance,
one, once in a blue moon fluke like what happened last election,
wouldn't compare to the unbalanced elections that would exist after the ending of the electorial process.

How would you like the political parties spending all their time and money in just LA & NYC?
Because that's what would happen with a pure population vote.

And believe it or not, then the GOP would have the disadvantage in the presidential elections.
