That is the exact reason the EC is in the Constitution; it undermines democracy taking root in place of our Constitutional Republic.

I think one of the main reasons they came up with the electoral college was that, in the conditions of 1787, they did not expect politicians to be well known outside their own state. They probably thought most elections would be decided in the House of Representatives after no one received a majority of the electoral votes. Of course they did not foresee the rise of political parties. But having the president chosen by popular vote? Probably did not seem practical in 1787.
The "slavery" explanation is typical left-wing hogwash. Only one election may have turned out differently because of the formula that counted three-fifths of the slaves in determining representation, that of 1800. Possibly Adams would have won otherwise.
If Hillary had won and we now had a Supreme Court with 6 leftists, maybe the SC would try to declare the Electoral College unconstitutional.

You can't have both you nitwit. Either a democratic nation or a republic nation. Only communist or radical countries call themselves a democratic republic. Should the EC be removed five cities would determine who'd be president. Also:

This woman’s too stupid to realize we live in a Republic. Either that or she thinks the people listening to her are too stupid to know that. Or both.

Eliminate the Electoral College? OK,fair enough.A majority vote in both Houses of Congress and then a “yea” vote from 38 state legislatures will do the trick.

If we were a democracy, yes, the electoral college would be the antithesis to it.
But we’re NOT a democracy. We’re a REPUBLIC, and thank God for that.
The Dems have consistently through the years never lost an opportunity to use the word Democracy in place of Republic, thereby brainwashing people into thinking America is a democracy. Our FF despised democracies, knowing they lead to destruction (according to Madison in the Federalist Paper #10).
Any Republican who calls our nation a Democracy should be called out on the spot.
