Everyone representing themselves is an extreme example but hopefully clearly shows how more representatives are better at representing a group than fewer. Compare a voting result of 50% A, 25% B, 25% C with a system that gives you 1 representative (from A) with a system that gives you 5 representatives (3 from A, 1 from B, 1 from C).
Electoral college permit states to choose electors who can choose to cast their vote in a way that doesn’t reflect how people in their state voted for. If a critical amount of states agree they can choose to change the votes to better represents what all Americans voted for instead of what each American in their state voted for. An election of an election results in a bigger misrepresentation error.
