America’s Electoral College: Time for it to go?
Is it time for America to scrap the Electoral College system. Critics argue the system prevents Presidents from being elected by a true majority and that changes are needed.
The Electoral College system is a process by which the US President is currently elected. Unlike other US election, a popular majority is not the final verdict in presidential vote counts.
Under the Electoral College each state is awarded, based on their population size, a number of electoral votes. These electoral votes are cast by a state’s congressional representatives. Each representative votes for president based on how their state voted in the popular election.
