It would be a good start. I almost can see the headlines of the foreign newspapers and magazines a few days after the election if the winner does not get the popular vote...
You obviously did not read the linked post in my answer. The Electoral College protects against a skewed geographical distribution of support for a candidate even at the expense of sometimes electing the candidate that gets fewer popular votes. It also protects against voter fraud especially from regions where one party is overwhelmingly dominant like New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Considering that the USA has the second oldest continuously existing government in the World, it is irrelevant whether foreign journalists understand how it works. The system has worked over 216 years during which time France for example has gone through five republics plus a reinstatement of monarchy.
