Question

I GIVE MEDALS<3 THIS IS GOVERNMENT, NO ONE SEEMS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN THAT CLASS.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

-The Electoral College?
-2000 Presidential Election?

FOCUS QUESTION: IS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE A FAIR METHOD OF SELECTING THE PRESIDENT?

Answer 1

Yes. Because if the country used popular vote, a candidate would only be concerned with states with high populations, (Texas, New York, California, Illinois, etc.) He could promise those states many things while leaving lesser populated states out in the cold.
