The Electoral College was included in the Constitution primarily because the Framers believed that?
There was considerable debate about how the chief executive was to be selected, but the electoral college was finally settled on as a compromise between those who wanted pure popular vote and those who wanted state legislatures to choose. The popular vote was turned down largely because, due to lack of widespread communications ability, the voters in each state would pick a regional local, not knowing anything about central figures [after the founding fathers would have passed on], so that regionalism multiplied by 13 would always result in the most populous states deciding the presidency. The electoral college at least gave some weighted influence to the smaller states. The reason for the electoral college has now died with the growth of communications and political parties, and the demise of state sovereignty interests.

Why can't the people decide by majority rule?

Is the electoral college bad?
There are two sides to this question. First, the electoral college allows presidential candidates to focus on certain states that they need to swing.

The other side to it is that a president might be selected without winning the popular vote.
