Because some states wouldn't have representation because their population would be too small or a state would have too many due to their population
It doesn't matter who got the popular vote in ANY election. Presidents are NOT elected by popular vote. Never have been despite what the current political climate shows. The framers of the constitution didn't trust population voting for president so they set up a system that eliminates that type of voting. As far as a third party getting any votes it is nearly impossible for the canadate. No third party has been successful in elections.
The Framers' original presidential selection plan, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, established the Electoral College, where electors from each state would be chosen by the state legislatures to formally elect the President and Vice President. This system was designed to balance the influence of populous states with less populous ones and to mitigate direct democracy, reflecting concerns about mob rule. Electors were meant to exercise independent judgment, though over time, the process has evolved into a more direct form of popular vote through state elections.
The concept of government that the framers favored was the republic form. This was the form of government that would allow the people to appoint those they wanted to represent them into government positions.

The framers of the Constitution intentionally omitted any mention of political parties because they believed that such factions could lead to division and conflict, undermining the unity and stability of the new nation. They were concerned that political parties might prioritize their interests over the common good and create polarization. Additionally, at the time of drafting, the concept of political parties was not yet fully developed, and the framers hoped that a well-structured government could function without them. Ultimately, they aimed to create a system that encouraged debate and compromise without the adversarial nature that parties often foster.
Why do you think the Progressive framers of the Arizona Constitution gave all of the control of water rights to the state? Explain your answer.
No candidate received a majority of the electoral votes.
