They don't have to go to that much trouble. Electronic voting machines cannot be audited.

A scaling system/electoral college is needed to keep plebs interested in the political process, as you can't claim democracy if nobody participates. You would lose legitimacy by default.

If they posted the real percentages every election by Total Vote (popular) without breaking it down by EC districts, or even by State/county, there would be a very big problem.

Instead of a 51-49 or 48-50 or 49-50 victory or loss, you would end up with 20-80, 15-85, and who knows, maybe a few 10-90 elections. Imagine how depressed, angry, and violently rabid this country would be without the EC keeping us all calm, giving everyone hope for next election. "Oh it was a close one boys! We got em next time!" easily becomes "I don't care lol we got smoked. Fuck politics"

Blood would run in the streets after every controversial/emotional Presidential election without the EC. It would change every facet of our society. Horrifying to think of life without the mainstream media spoonfeeding us post-election political opiates in the form of the "EC percent tally".
