Do some research to answer the following questions: 1. Introduction: Begin by providing a brief overview of the Electoral College system, its historical context, and its role in presidential elections. 2. Electoral College Math: How is the number of electors decided for each state? Give some details regarding the allocation method (which apportionment method is used for Congress, and how does it work? Hint: it’s one of the methods from chapter 13.) What is the electoral vote threshold for winning the presidency, and why? 3. Population vs. Electoral Votes: Do the proportions of electoral votes for the states line up with their populations? Explain why or why not. 4. Winner-Takes-All: Explain the winner-takes-all system employed by most states in allocating electoral votes. How does this impact fair representation? Do all states use this system? 5. What are some arguments for keeping the Electoral College system as it is? What about arguments for replacing it? Consider a proposed alternative and explain how it would work mathematically. 6. Conclusion: Summarize the most important points you have learned from this research. In your view, what is the significance of understanding this topic? Expectations: • Use a minimum of 3 credible sources (there are many resources available on Blackboard.) Remember that AI can be very wrong! If you use AI for research, check it against multiple sources. There are many resources in the week 4 folder on Blackboard, particularly the “Supplementary links” for lesson 13.4. • Use clear and coherent language, with correct grammar and punctuation. You may go to the Gator Success Center or anyone else for help with your writing. Please don’t use AI to write this for you! I want to hear what YOU think in your own words. AI doesn’t think at all and copies wording from other sources – it can sometimes be very easy for me to tell when some of these phrases are used repeatedly. Be prepared to defend your own work. • Follow a consistent citation format (e.g., MLA, APA) for referencing sources. (Be sure to use in-text citations in addition to a works cited page.) • Support your research and conclusions with evidence and logical reasoning. Evaluation Criteria: • Clarity and coherence of writing • Correct mathematical explanation of methods • Depth of critical analysis and question exploration • Accuracy and relevance of information • Use of supporting evidence and examples
