What are some of the criticisms of the Electoral College system as a result of the 2000 and 2016 elections? How does the US Census that occurs every ten years factor into the Electoral College?

1. Three criticisms of the College are made:

It is “undemocratic;”

It permits the election of a candidate who does not win the most votes; and.

Its winner-takes-all approach cancels the votes of the losing candidates in each state.

2. Following a census, the seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are automatically divided according to the census data. If a state has gained population, it may receive more seats. If a state has lost population, it may lose seats, meaning it would also lose votes in presidential campaigns.

I hope this helps you.
