recipe for disaster. Candidates would cater more and more to the big states and the large metro areas.
The old white guys in wigs knew a thing or two and the biggest thing they knew is that direct democracy and direct elections of executives is a disaster.

Absolutely not.
If nothing else, the EC firewalls election fraud to the state in which it is committed - it needs to generate only the fraudulent votes necessary to win the “local” election.
Without the EC, every fraudulent ballot manufactured everywhere contributes to the overall national outcome.
For mathematical proof of the merits of the Electoral College see this article:
