WHY is it better to have lesser fewer control what the greater more want? How does that make things fair?

Popularity is determined by numbers.  The greater the better the lesser the worser. Boxoffice take for a movie depends upon the number of dollars people spend to see it. Awards are often based on the number of people who vote for whomever. Academy Awards. Best Sellers. Successful products. Success is measured b y larger numbers. Billionaires are more "successful" financially than millionaires. So how come the lah de dah of the electoral college is defended as "right" by people when it is patently wrong? Why should the least liked win anything and the most liked win nothing?

    Electoral system was created because the states of less population did not want to be controlled by the states of greater population concentrations.  Because then what you would have ended up with was urban populations controlling rural populations whose needs and interests are very different.
