The main issue that American citizens would have had (and stil do have) with the Electoral College is that it divorces the election of the US President, the most powerful statesman in the United States, from the actual popular vote. Other issues with the electoral college remain issues today, including: majority take all voting in the electoral college, that electors can completely disregard the popular vote (such as happened in the non-election of Horace Greeley), and there is no oversight of the Electoral College. An additional problem was that the US had not clarified (until the Twelfth Amendment) that the President and Vice President must come on a combined ticket, so this led to many faulting the US Electoral College for making Thomas Jefferson the Vice President for John Adams when the two were ideologically opposed, leading to stagnation within the executive branch.
