is A or B correct? Im leaning more towards B, can someone help???
- Choice A: The Electoral College does not encourage the citizens of the US to vote in state level elections.
- Choice C: The Electoral College does not increase national political attention on individual states, although the Electoral College in the 2016 election did ignite a national debate on whether or not the US should keep the Electoral College system.
- Choice D: The Electoral College does not provide federal revenue to state-run educational programs.
- Choice E: The Electoral College does not act as a liasion for communication between state and national legislators since it is not a "physical" system.
• Additional Information:
--- The purpose of the Electoral College is to be a compromise between the election of the president by the vote of Congress and the popular vote of the people.
--- The founding fathers established the Electoral College in the United States Constitution, believing that it would be both a buffer and provide fair power to all states regardless of size.
