I like me some Electoral College. If anything it serves as a reminder that the federal government's purpose is to serve the states, not the people directly. The people should look to their respective states for governance.

Once people start playing around at the federal level then the laws become one size fits all and that makes a mess. Nature abhors monocultures.
