Why does the electoral college system sill exist today?

Fundamentally important so that smaller states can have equal power in electing individuals to larger ones.

For example, without the electoral system, the states of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North and South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana and more would be utterly eclipsed even if just half of California voted against their candidate.

the american revolution was by the middle and upper class, and the french was by the lower and middle class.
