Quote:


Romney won the popular vote. But Obama won the Election




The Electorial College was an institution designed to give the slave holding states more power over the selection of the U.S. President than they would have had with the popular vote. Ironic that the same institution gives their decendents a black President.




It was that and also to help the small states since every one gets two senators. That makes an invididual's vote in a small state count more than one a large state.

The old South also got more representation in congress because it got white representatives based on 3/5's of the slaves population as well as all the white.
