The Electoral College was design to isolate voter fraud where cheating in one or even two places prevent an election from being stolen. Notice that I specify vote count. The election was still manipulated by social media and the broadcast media.

How so? Electoral College reps vote on what their state certifies. If illegal votes are certified by corrupt state politicians how does the Electoral College surmount that.

When it's necessary for multiple states to flip to change the final outcome, you're arriving in conspiracy theory territory. If it were only one state, that would be a different conversation. Undermining the overall trust in the system with all its checks and balances will come back to bite Republicans if not careful and could begin to feed a "Why bother voting?" mindset.
