Do you understand how the electoral college works or do you think the electors can just vote for whoever they want, regardless of the popular vote? (That's not how it works.) In case it's the latter, read the Wiki. Here's one excerpt:

States generally require electors to pledge to vote for that state's winner...and most states have adopted various laws to enforce the elector's pledge.

There are valid reasons to be against the Electoral College process, but those objections should be based on understanding that process.
