With the National Popular Vote idea raising its dumb head recently it's worth remembering that one of the great advantages of the Electoral Collage is certainty in who is selected as president.
Thanks to the EC we were able to demonstrate conclusively that Trump had lost the 2020 election by confirming each of the EC votes. No grousing about state polling places mattered.
Technically the NPV retains this by going through the EC, but it does add complexity and challenge to the process, undermining it somewhat.
So many don't appreciate what they have in the EC so they don't understand how they're taking away from it.
