The author states that we need the electoral college so that a couple of huge states cannot dictate who is president. Instead, every state, however small, gets a say in who wins the election. The book does not go into much details as to why a national majority of votes should not determine the election.
The book talks in detail how the electors are chosen and how they cast their ballot for president. However, it was not clear why letting some electors who may not even vote for who the majority of people in their state chose is beyond me.
