No. The electoral college was created because the founders didn't trust the uneducated general population to not elect a tyrant, so the EC was supposed to be made up of educated people who wouldn't be stupid enough to vote against the best interests of the people.
It also had a bit to do with how long it took to count votes at the time.

What the actual fuck are you talking about?
