So . . . the framers set it up so that only a couple of states would decide the presidency? Who knew?
Didn't they actually do the opposite? Weren't they worried that just a couple of states might quickly be calling all the shots? So they set up the Senate and the EC to prevent that.
Yet isn't that the problem we face today? Only a few "battlegrounds" states really matter in presidential elections. So much so that a few mistakes or deliberate cheating in just one state can flip the outcome.
Surely a popular vote to pick the president would be better than that.
