What the Electoral College Saves Us From By Dan McLaughlin

If we think of the Electoral College as a way of ensuring a decisive result in the absence of a national popular majority, and election by the House as the fallback only when both of those options fail, it makes a lot more sense. Splits between the popular vote and Electoral College winners will practically always be very rare when one candidate gets a popular majority

Good defense of the Founders' wisdom in creating the Electoral College.
