Simple. Democracy.

Look, David, I understand your point. You aren't the only one who seriously dislikes the Electoral College, but that is what the Founders saddled us with back when things were much different. The only way it's ever going to change is for those who dislike it to have enough power to change it.

I guess that Lincoln accepted the Electoral College much the same way he accepted the rest of the decisions of the Founders. Your attempt to tie your question to Lincoln, however, is disingenuous.
