Because there is no need for an EC at the state level. The Governor of the state will only serve the citizens of that one state. Popular vote alone is sufficient.
The EC was established for POTUS to ensure no STATE's voice was overrun because a few other states might have more dense population &/or financial power to have an unfair/unequal say over what happened for all the other states. This election, perhaps more so than any other before, demonstrates the genius of the EC in protecting each STATE's voice:
🔹Clinton won 500 counties, 17% of the NATION & 19 states
🔹Trump won 2,600 counties, 83% of the NATION & 31 states
Popular vote, alone *sounds* intuitively "fair," but on a STATE level - which the EC was designed to protect - it would be incredibly "unfair."
