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

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.

Each state gets a certain amount of credit based on there population. A good thing about this is each state gets a equal say even if there a little state they can here there say.

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.]]> 2020-03-18 01:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/berensn/v775l4a4trf8/wish/463907212
