The Founding Fathers never intended for the "popular vote" to be a meaningful factor in a presidential election. The Electoral College system was meant to make the election of a president a function of the states each having a role as states. It's called federalism. Likewise, the Senate has two senators from each state regardless of population. Only the House of Representatives is based on proportional representation. The founders were very cautious about enabling a handful of population centers to establish a tyranny of the majority. And they believed that the federal government was a compact between states. These babies need to get some facts.

The founders were very cautious about enabling a handful of population centers to establish a tyranny of the majority...! In a nutshell They were brilliant!

The term “popular vote” would have been completely alien to the Founding Fathers. Presidential electors weren’t necessarily chosen by popular vote back then. I believe most states appointed them through votes in their state legislatures.
