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 improve presidential elections? Or does the system work fine? Or should Electoral College votes be split within states, as they are in Nebraska and Maine? If students want to do away with the Electoral College, what system do they want in its place? A one-person-one-vote system? Would such a system make candidates ignore small states? (Students should use the recent 2016 election as an example).
