Answer:

Yes {in some ways}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three criticisms of the College are made: It is “undemocratic;” It permits the election of a candidate who does not win the most votes; and. Its winner-takes-all approach cancels the votes of the losing candidates in each state. Debate on the proposal before the full House of Representatives ended on September 11, 1969, and was eventually passed with bipartisan support on September 18, 1969, by a vote of 339 to 70. According to the Constitution, 'The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.'
