No, that's not the reason for the Electoral College: Rio
de Janeiro doesn't have this horrible thing, and yet we
elected a chimp for Mayor in 1988 [the first and last time 
that Cesar Maia was defeated in an election to Mayor; 
he got the 3rd place]. The votes for Macaco Tiao were
invalidated, and someone else was elected.

The Electoral College exists to prevent a sindical leader to
be elected, like Brazil did with Lula in 2002.
