Question

Due to the way the Electoral College is set up, it’s possible to win the presidency without winning the majority of popular votes. Because of this, a debate has sprung up as to ways to possibly fix this system (assuming it needs to be fixed).

What arguments can be made for getting rid of the Electoral College?
What arguments could be made for keeping it as is?

Answer 1

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In simple terms, one of the arguments that can be made for getting rid of the Electoral College is that "Without the Electoral College, every vote throughout the country would be equal."

2. On the other hand, one of the arguments that could be made for keeping the Electoral College as is that the "Electoral College protects the rights of the minority so that equal protection prevails."
