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.

Wrong.  For example, California has a population of just under 40 million, but only has 55 electoral votes - or 727,00 per electoral vote.

In comparison, my state of New Hampshire, has a population of 1.3 million, and 4 electoral votes - or 325,000 per electoral vote. Therefore, a vote in New Hampshire carries more weight than a vote in California.
