It was started as an easier means of communication in times pre-telegraph. Rather than every ballot having to be transported to D.C. for counting, the states were responsible and then each was given so much weight. That was it's primary and outlived function.
So it's around 200 years out of date? That actually makes a lot of sense thematically...
