The electoral college is spelled out in Article 2 of the Constitution. The rationale for it is to give smaller states a say in a Presidential election. In other words, a candidate is not guaranteed a victory even if they win the popular vote nor by winning the largest states like California, Texas, New York, Florida, etc. |
Smaller states already have a say: votes from smaller states count no more or less than the votes cast in larger states.
