Why does the electoral college system sill exist today?

Fundamentally important so that smaller states can have equal power in electing individuals to larger ones.

For example, without the electoral system, the states of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North and South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana and more would be utterly eclipsed even if just half of California voted against their candidate.

i would say your answer would be the second option.

hope this !

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
