The Electoral College impedes democracy in a few different ways. First, the winner take all mechanism that is used by the Electoral College in a vast majority of states not only discourages people from voting but ends up disregarding most people’s votes altogether. This winner take all approach makes it difficult for anyone besides major two party candidates to achieve any widespread support. This reinforces the two-party system and discourages any divergence from it. The winner take all system also makes it so that votes that don’t fall within the majority have absolutely no weight in the actual country wide election. A voter who wants to vote third party or for a less popular candidate will likely see no reason to do so, and will be discouraged to vote at all. Arguably the most important way in which the Electoral College impedes democracy is the way in which it over represents rural areas. A true democracy should.

Answer:

Facilitates - It collectively decides votes based on the citizens' decisions and is also based entirely around the population in a state. Also allows there to be weight to certain areas that are more influenced by certain decisions.

Impedes - It is not always entirely accurate and made to suit the population perfectly. The electoral votes are unbalanced and can give importance to certain states more than others, making is hard for everyone's opinions to be heard and acted upon.

TEA [102]
<span>"Each state represented its own branch of men that were to be called out to the war, and to keep the state safe in case of need of retreat. The nationals were to conduct treaties to nations such as France and request supplies, such as weapons troops and armada which is boats and naval weaponry. The main thing for the nation was to round up a mass continental army that would make the British flee and draw a plan for declaring a new independent nation known as America."</span>
