The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the President by popular vote and having Congress choose the President. They believed it would balance the interests of smaller and larger states and prevent a single region from dominating the election process.

Why did founding father create electoral college?
At the time when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution, most U.S. citizens were not very politically knowledgable, and news traveled fairly slowly. The founding fathers created the electoral college so that people who were knowledgable about politics and America's economic standing, etc. were the ones voting and making the smartest decision for the country. However, it is interesting to note that the electoral college, though based off of the number of representatives in Congress, is not proportionally representative of the American people. This, as well as today's citizens being able to be politically knowledgable and faithless electors, has caused debate over whether there should still be an electoral college. However, today's voter turnout and political efficacy are both low, so there is still some reason to keep the electoral college. Anyways, I hope that was helpful!
