The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In modern, democratic countries, a healthy democracy requires that voting be an accurate representation of the will of the people. Two potential flaws in the voting process and how they challenge its accuracy or its ability to reflect the people's will is are the controversial issue of the electoral college as the preferred way to decide an election and the way electoral controversies are resolved.
The United States decides Presidential elections with the Electoral College, that is a process, not a place. But over the years, many Americans had demanded that it would be better to respect the popular vote instead of using the old electoral college way to decide an election. For instance, in the last presidential election, it was the candidate of the Democratic Party who won the election in the electoral vote but lost the electoral college election. Something similar happens with electoral controversies resolution, as was the case of the election in Florida when the Supreme Court decided that the winner of the election had been George W. Bush over Al Gore.
