Yes. It was based on Frederick the Great's system and was very useful when travel and communications were difficult and you had a number of divergent regions with semi-sovereign states who don't trust each other. So if California produces 51 million votes for its candidate and no one else voted for him, he would lose by 175 to 55 rather than winning the election by popular vote. Only three Presidents have been elected contrary to the popular vote: Hayes, Harrison and Bush. In all three cases, the vote was close. Imagine if the whole country had to recount the "hanging chads" and not just one state.
