There are two sides to this question.

First, the electoral college allows presidential candidates to focus on certain states that they need to swing. We if did not have the electoral college, presidential candidates would have to go to the areas where there party is more dense to get the votes they need, which would make things complicated.

The other side to it is that a president might be selected without winning the popular vote. This unraveled before our own eyes in 2000 when even though Gore won the popular vote, Bush won the electoral college and hence won the presidency.

Hope this helped you to take a side.
