#18thCenturyProblems

The EC was great "back in the day". The smaller states loved it because they got more power (per capita, I guess you'd call it), and it meant that the southern areas got just as much say into issues relevant to them (see: slaves) as the more populated north. It was also a little harder to reliably tally nationwide votes in the millions, than it is today.

Sure, it promotes sectionalism rather than populism, but that's the rules of the game and everyone knows it going in.

It's not going to change when those with the power to change it are benefiting from the way it is now.
