At best, it can foster belief that the system is not legitimate, or at least does not legitimately represent the majority consensus. Unless of course you happen to be the beneficiary of the system in which the popular vote was lost by your party where you can lose the vote, but still win the election. |
How does it not matter? If we moved to popular vote, the minority vote would think their vote "doesnt matter". The electoral college was made to ensure the minority had a vote, just like our bicameral legislature was. America is built on compromise, not majority. Hell, even the Revolutionaries were the minority of Americans at the time.
