It's was designed to prevent candidates from only campaigning in the cities. With the Electoral college, they have to campaign to all states and populations, urban and rural.
It's actually a good system.
Now this might be the best reason I've heard.
But a rebuttal would be that GOP doesn't waste time in Blue States and Dems don't waste time in Red States. So its actually have the opposite effect as this.
The votes for each would actually matter in those states if it was popular vote.
