Is there anyone here

[The Sleeper]

A third idea was to have the president elected by a direct popular vote. Direct election was rejected not because the Framers of the Constitution doubted public intelligence but rather because they feared that without sufficient information about candidates from outside their State, people would naturally vote for a "favorite son" from their own State or region. At worst, no president would emerge with a popular majority sufficient to govern the whole country. At best, the choice of president would always be decided by the largest, most populous States with little regard for the smaller ones.

I do believe that in the age of cable and internet, we have sufficient information to choose a president. and I don't get how the most populous states would decide elections when each persons vote is weighted equally.
