The electoral college is required so that does not happen. If it did not exist then the election would be dicided by a dozen or so city centers on the coast of the country and important minorities, (for example farmers in the mid west) would have no pull and polititions would only cater to the wants and needs of the city centers. While some may say that is a good thing, certain demographics views are still important, like farmers/food supple.
I can keep going but I think you get it.
