Question

According to the first resource, how did the Electoral College vote compare with the popular vote in the 2000 election? How might this illustrate an issue of the Electoral College?

Answer 1

George W. Bush won the Electoral College with 271 votes to Al Gore’s 266. Gore, however, won the popular vote by a margin of 543,895 votes. This means that although more people voted for Vice President Gore, Governor Bush won the election. Some people view this as a drawback of the Electoral College.

Answer 2

Well, your answer is going to be that in the year of 2000 election in the U.SA, the person that had won the presidential election would actually loose the popular vote. This is an issue with the electoral college in that it will not always represent a lot of the Americans.
