While the EC could "erode voting power" of the majority in favor of minorities we don't like, it may also favor those minorities we do like.

It seems like as a society we have a complicated relationship with this idea. Rights are in principle equal, but power is not equally distributed. Maintaining any balance is a really hard problem. The electoral college could be a relic of a bygone era whose time is over and done, but I'm not sure that eliminating it is going to reset the balance of power in a way that protects rights more effectively.
