Purpose of the creation of the electoral college?
The purpose of the electoral college is to ' break the tie' between two opposing parties. Let's say, there are two candidates running for the presidency.

After all the campaigning is done and all the votes have been tallied and counted, we find that both candidates seem to have about the same number of popular votes. Basically, we have a tie. This is when the electoral college steps in to cast their votes. It is their votes that will be the deciding factor as to which candidate will win the nomination for the presidency.
