The electoral college exists in order to prevent candidates from disinfranchising most of the states in the U.S. With a large portion of America living in metropolitan areas candidates would not need to pay attention to the needs of people in small states such as, RI or ME. They could focus solely on these metropolitan areas promising entitlements, which in essence would be buying votes. It's the diversity of the different regions in America that make us such a great country, the electoral college ensures we pay attention to each state.
