He or she also must represent the needs of diverse regions across the nation. A strong republic needs to respect that regional diversity. Without the Electoral College, a candidate would appeal only to the narrow self-interests of densely populated urban areas. There would be no reason for a president to consider the well-being or interests of people and industries prominent in rural areas – those responsible for providing the agricultural, energy needs of our country – ranchers, fisherman, farmers, oilmen, coal miners, and also military personnel.
And as we can see that worked out really well for Hillary. Don't underestimate the rural areas.
