Question:

What are the Problems of the Electoral College?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-The Winner of the Popular Vote Can Lose: Occurred Twice Recently: Bush vs Gore and Trump vs Clinton. Highly Undemocratic -Rogue Delegates: They can Ignore Public Opinion and vote on their own Accord. 2016 saw 7 Delegates do such, whilst 2020 saw None -Over Representing Smaller States: USCON ensured the Smaller States are Protected. Wyoming has an Electoral Vote worth 200K People, and California has an Electoral Vote worth 700K People. -Focus on Swing States. A small number of States can Decide the Outcome of the Election. 2024 will see Emphasis on Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
