Because no one state should be able to wield more power than the others


The framers expected future elections would include several candidates. I don't think any one of them had the foresight to think that national political parties would form and narrow down the list to just two people. In their mind, the election would be more like the primaries where a handful of candidates would toss their names out there with varying levels of support.
