Not sure. We were talking just about the method to select the president. He wants the will of the people expressed but he doesnt want us to actually vote? Seems contradictory.I believe that the point there was about the unrestrained will of a temporary majority. That's not the same as talking about the will of the people or representative government.
And, currently, the EC just functions as way of assigning different weights to individual votes from different states, for the purpose of federalism. Its got nothing to do with diminishing direct democracy, anymore.
