I don’t know if the founding fathers envisioned the Electoral College as a bulwark against fraudulent voting, but either deliberately or accidentally, it turned out to be just that.
And for that reason alone it should remain.

Nowhere in the Constitution is there a requirement for a popular vote. The state legislature has the power to declare that there will be no popular vote in that state, and the legislature will appoint their state’s electors.
