It seems like your argument reaches the wrong conclusions.
The electoral college *enchances* the impact of localized vote fraud. It's just a question of picking the right locale. It would only take a couple hundred thousand votes to tilt Ohio and change the election. Without the college it would have taken 3.5 million fraudulent votes.
And with the number of votes needed to swing the election being so much smaller, the odds of detecting the fraud are reduced.
