Mathematical proof of the merits of the Electoral College:

The EC is a firewall limiting fraudulent ballots - they claim they want “one person, one vote”, what they really want is “one person, 100 votes”. With the EC, no matter how many fraudulent ballots a precinct manufacturers, that state gets no more electoral votes. With NPV, there’s infinite incentive to manufacture ballots by the truckload.
Good point. Also the impact of block voting or special interest voting is diminished by the same reasoning.
