Whats the point in voting if an unelected elector can just pick whomever they want? The founders were notoriously afraid of direct democracy. This is "intended" behavior in the sense that they saw it as the final check against the "mob" electing someone crazy and unfit by allowing the electors a last second emergency brake.
