If the Electoral College members are pledged or required to vote according to the results of their state's popular election, then I don't see how the Electoral College resists the manipulations you cite. Personally, I don't care at all who rules over my ass. It's all the same...monarch, dictator, polls rigger, or the rule of the allegedly virtuous democratic mob, and it's all immoral. Force is force and government IS force, by design and definition. "Self-rule" is inconsistent with government in any form.
