Electoral votes decides the winner of the election. All States Representative choose the electors and all states participates. Framers decided the electoral college because it includes all US State representing to participate in the electoral process.
Amendment XII of the Constitution defines how the electoral process was created.
There were already 5 incidents that the presidential candidate with more electoral college votes, had won over the candidate with more popular votes but lesser electoral votes.
