Read pgs 220 - 226 and take notes
As you read you should begin to form an opinion about the original purpose of the electoral college and it's continued usefulness.
Make a list of the elections in which the elected president lost the popular vote. Who benefited, small or large states? (You may need to find a map of that years vote by state.)
Read page 227 If your birthday is in January through June you will argue in favor of keeping the college. Everyone else will argue for it's demise. We will schedule a time to debate this topic in November
