To avoid another controversial election like the one in  2000 and 2016, should the United States do away with the Electoral College? Would providing a more direct influence for citizens to improve the process of presidential elections? Or does the system work fine? Explain.

If you want to do away with the Electoral College, what system do you want in its place? What effect do you think that system have on our elections – how would the results be different? What would the effects be for small versus big states? Explain why. If you do not want to do away with it, explain why you think it is still the best system.
