Question

Has the electoral college outlived its usefulness? is it the time to dump the system? Explain

Answer 1

Electoral college is a system that helps to elect the president and the vice-president. It is still useful. In the electoral college there are representatives from every state. It is already settled who will be the president and the vice-president. But for the official confirmation and constitutional obligation, there is need of the electoral college. It is useful because it makes the president understand that he is not only elected by the people, b ut also his selection is dependent on the electoral college. It helps to bind each other in a responsibility. It also prevents the states to be ruled by dictator. Besides, both the policies of election and selection are taken here.
