the states elect the President

Here in the state of Washington we have mob rule in the form of referendumbs (my spelling) in the ballots.
They have brought us laws which ban animal traps (including mole traps), prevent illegal gun transfers (including letting your spouse shoot your gun for target practice), prevents the sale of gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, etc.
