text: In Defense of the Electoral College highlights that if that canidate were to becaome president of the United States, "The residents of other regions are likely to feel disenfranchised...that their votes do not count...that he really isn't their president." Just think about that. Imagine having a president who got elected just because he won over the South. It would be as if he or she had only that region's interests at heart and did not care for the rest of the nation. The Presidnet is suppose to be the leader for the whole nation, not just a section of it. If this were to happen,the nation would be fractured, all because we got rid of the Electoral College. Some might argue that that probabably would never happen, and it might not, but we always have to keep in mind the worse scenarios to ensure the best decisions for the United States.
