It's because you started he entire conversation with a faulty premise - that popular vote/democracy is the goal of the Republic. It's not.
The EC is not a popular election because it was specifically set up as such. The Madisons, Jeffersons etc. of the early founding despised classic democracy because it is inherently unstable and ineffective.
There is a reason that, at the time of its creation, only one half of one branch of the federal government employed democratic elections.
