Isn’t the electoral college a collective of representatives voting for the candidate that won the popular vote in their respective district? The president IS actually elected by popular vote.

The President is actually elected by the States and that was intended by the founders. The States are entitled to send their electors whom they have appointed/elected to vote the will of the state. The Presidency was always intended to be determined but the States that created the government in the first place.
