Because our electoral system was created 200+ years ago and hasn't had a major overhaul since.

The biggest overhaul was the Apportionment Act of 1911, which destroyed proportional representation in the US House of Representatives and Electoral College. If not for that, the GOP would have to move Left to gain support from high population states.
