Electoral College Ted Ed Dig Deeper Post by Mrs. S https://padlet.com/shannon_stone/s0epf9v5wbny Choose only ONE to answer: ​1- What would happen if the Electoral College tied? One of our favorite YouTube Educators, CGP Grey, answers that question and many more in this incredible video. 2- Many people think the United States should get rid of the electoral college completely. They believe the winner-take-all system is not fair. Can we think of a compromise for those who want to get rid of the electoral college and those who want the president and vice president to be elected by the popular vote. What are some pros and cons of the electoral college? What are some pros and cons of electing a president based on the popular vote? ​ 3- Imagine you have been elected to the presidency and have the power to amend this portion of the constitution, which allows for the electoral college. Would you change the system? Why or why not? en-us 2016-11-08 18:04:32 UTC 2016-11-08 19:47:24 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png Your Name Here shannon_stone https://padlet.com/shannon_stone/s0epf9v5wbny/wish/136215055 # you chose to answer & your answer. ]]> 2016-11-08 19:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_stone/s0epf9v5wbny/wish/136215055 Rashidah Fells  https://padlet.com/shannon_stone/s0epf9v5wbny/wish/136220452 #3... 
No i would not change the system because i learned that you don't always win presidential by having the most votes , you can have the most votes but when popular.. Sometimes even having the lowest amount of votes you can still win presidential. ]]> 2016-11-08 19:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_stone/s0epf9v5wbny/wish/136220452 Mrs. S shannon_stone https://padlet.com/shannon_stone/s0epf9v5wbny/wish/136220915 I think the electoral college is not perfect, but it does reflect the population.  I think in a sense, the electoral votes should typically line up with the popular vote.  It would have to be a super tight race to shake out otherwise.  I am not sure if the popular vote only would take into consideration all of the things that go into location, socio-economic status, etc.
