text: The major goal of elections is to choose a leader in a mythotical and smooth way. The Electorial Congress brings a "landslide electorial-vote victory in that state." (source 3, paragraph 18) This gives the public a reasurrence that their state was strong and sure about the decission. This comfort might not come if the elections were popular-vote based only. Also, "the Electorial College requires a presidential to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electorial votes to elect a president" (source 3, paragraph 19) It's important to have a system that doesn't allow one region to dominate over the others. Had this been the case, the balance among the people would be completely thrown off.
