Political Science Our Flawed Government Our flawed government: The Electoral College Among the many problems that our government possess the Electoral College bothers me the most. I disagree with many issues when it comes to the Electoral College. There exist three main problems in the Electoral College. One of which being the ability to elect a minority president. Having faithless electors adds to the main problems of the Electoral College. My biggest concern with the Electoral College stems from contingency elections. Among the many problems with the American government, the main problem must be the inefficient way in which the Electoral College misrepresents the masses. The fact that citizens can elect a minority president bothers me greatly. This possibility basically means that our votes mean nothing, and defeats the whole purpose of voting. In turn we do not control who will run our government. This frustrates me because of the fact that this causes more contingency elections. When contingency elections occur this leaves the citizens of the United States powerless because politicians control the results of the contingency elections (#1).
