Explain the Electoral College system, and compare and contrast arguments for and against it.

In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress. Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes. The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.A popular argument on conservative websites and talk radio is that without the Electoral College, candidates would spend all their time campaigning in big cities and would ignore low-population areas.Electoral College will often defend the system by citing its original purpose: to provide a check on the public in case they make a poor choice for president.
