One unfortunate role is the spreading of misinformation. False news reports designed to get clicks are shared before people verify that what they are sharing is true. This leads to people believing false stories and even acting and voting based on this information.

Politicians in government (thought they may not believe the stories) know they must act based on this misinformation in order to secure votes from the people who believe them.

klio [65]

Answer:

1. Three criticisms of the College are made:

It is “undemocratic;”

It permits the election of a candidate who does not win the most votes; and.

Its winner-takes-all approach cancels the votes of the losing candidates in each state.

2. Following a census, the seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are automatically divided according to the census data. If a state has gained population, it may receive more seats. If a state has lost population, it may lose seats, meaning it would also lose votes in presidential campaigns.

I hope this helps you.
