Five U.S. presidents have won the presidency without winning the popular vote because of the Electoral College.

Critics argue that the current system conflicts with the principle of “one person, one vote” because electoral votes are not allocated strictly according to population.

Supporters argue that the system encourages candidates to seek support across different states and regions of the country.

Is the Electoral College still needed? Why or why not?

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the current system?
