Electoral College

?

The Electoral College 

  • It does ensure that smaller states have their voices heard, swing states such as Florida being very important in 2016 
  • However it also puts unfair focus on swing states, safe seats like California tend not to get campaigned in as much 
  • It also ensures a two horse race, Trump v Hilary in 2016
  • However it is very unfair to third parties, 1992 Ross Perot getting 18.9% of the vote but no electora college votes 
  • It also ensures that president always has a majority, Obama getting a huge majority in 2008 
  • However sometimes it does ignore the popular vote, Clinton getting 3 million more votes than trump
