I think you have confused a feature for a bug.
Correct in that the Electoral College is not a full Republic, that is no the intent, nor is it desired.
There should always be a mix of power, power for the people, and power for the States. the Electoral College attempts to balance that by granting 2 Votes for every state no matter the population, then granting another amount of votes based on population. The 2 votes representing the state (i.e the Senate which was originally the states Representatives in Congress), and Equal number of votes to representatives in Congress, (i.e the People)
In this way both "stakeholders" the States and the People are represented in the federal government
