The process for selecting the President was always intended to preserve the prerogatives of States as States, and not be a direct election by popular vote.

True, that ended up in the Constitution, but it was by no means seen by all the delegates as the best way to elect the POTUS. It was a contentious issue and a means to get the southern states to sign on.

It sure as hell is not the way we should be electing the POTUS now.
