At one time, it was justified because news was months old and you could not know the candidates in a reasonable amount of time without traveling to DC and you couldn't afford to do so.

So you elected some local guys you trusted to vote on your behalf, basically.

It's a good reason to make the electoral college, but not a good reason to keep it.
