I think I understand the reason why the electoral college was created and is used. It is to attempt to balance the "voting power" of one state against another. Is this correct? If I understand correctly it is to give states like wyoming or the dakotas a voice in the election. Without it, california and the other states would make their voice mute.

This doesn't make sense to me. Can someone please jump in and give a lucid explanation of the purpose of the electoral college?
