If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, then
the House of Representatives chooses the president with each state
having 1 vote, and the Senate chooses the vice president with each
senator having 1 vote.

The candidates would campaign differently, and visit more places.
The electoral college process is far more limiting, resulting in
much fewer campaign stops for candidates.

IOW, the electoral college process is nothing more than a polite
fiction.  A means to con the electorate into believing it is taking
part in a fair election.
