I like the electoral college. I think it gets a bad wrap. It is simply a form of anti trust to remind people long term that their is no mob rule by vote. It is an ugly hiccup, yes. But it is designed just like the idea of separation of the three branches of government.
People think that voting alone constitutes a democracy, but it cannot. Voters also must have a check on their power too otherwise voting is nothing more than a mob dictatorship.
The concepts of western pluralism is that both the government and the voter are GUIDES, not absolutes. The protection of dissent is just as important as the protection of the majority. You can judge a government by how it treats the least among them.
