The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a mix between population and the pick of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states. Hamilton and the other founders believed that the electors would be able to insure that only a qualified person becomes President. I think it is fair, because it gives the smaller states more of a chance to have who they want to become president elected. And I also think that is a good idea because it has more electoral votes for the bigger states because they have more people voting. I don't think that the system has ever had any major flaws worth explaining and I think it should continue to be used.
