The electoral college is used during elections in the U.S. How it works is each state gets a certain amount of electoral votes which is based off of each state’s population. Total there will always be 538 electoral votes which means a candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the election. The amount of electoral votes each state gets is determined by the census that takes place every so many years. If a state’s popular vote favors one party, the elector for that state can vote against what the people want. This also means that there have been some cases where more people overall (the popular vote) vote for one party but the other party wounds up winning because of electoral votes, as what was seen in the 2016 election. An advantage to this system is smaller states still get represented despite their small populations. A disadvantage of this system is that the electors can go against what the people wanted in that state which makes it so a persons vote wounds up being meaningless and unaccounted for.

One advantage is it allows smaller states to have a voice in the election as it isn't based off popular vote. One disadvantage is that electoral representatives don't have to give their vote to what their state voted for.

The pros of the electoral college is that it protests minority interests, and directs more power to the states. The cons of it is that it's complicated and dissuades people from voting and the person a majority of Americans favor may not win.

The electoral college has benefits of allowing the small states to be heard in the election of the president. However, due to the electoral college it’s possible that the election can be won without having popular vote. The fear of changing to popular vote is that the small states will not have much say.

The electoral college is the voting system every president has to go through before becoming president. The goal of the electoral college is to get to 270 votes. Each state has a certain amount of credits which goes towards how many people they have in each state. One bad thing is the big States with a lot  of people in them have a bigger scoring the the president of their choice.

The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President.

The electoral college is something the government created to ma,e sure all states have an even say in who become president. Each state gets a certain amount of credit based on there population.

The electoral college is senates that form each country and votes on behalf of the state they represent. I feel we should throw it away because they don't have to vote who the majority of the state voted for. One pro is they can save us if they know something we don't and one con is they could vote who would be better for them and not us.

The Electoral College is the voting system used by the United States in its elections by taking the relation between the population and the state to determine how many electoral votes each candidate receives. An advantage that this system provides is a good idea of where certain types of voters are located on the map and who they vote for. A disadvantage of this system is the balance between the population and the electoral votes per state sometimes resulting in the elect
oral victory of one candidate despite the popular vote being in another candidates favor.

I think that United States should keep the electoral college. On benefit of this is that the electoral collage helps makes every state counts. Yes some states are worth more but there are swing states. Which can determine the outcome of the election. One disadvantage is a president can win the majority of the states, but still lose.
