Assignment Help Business Management
Reference no: EM131281311

Donald Trump has defeated Hilary Clinton and will become out 45th President. He won in the Electoral College 276-228 (though that total will increase when the final states report) but lost the popular vote by over 200,000 votes (which is also likely to increase when absentee ballots are counted on west coast.) This is now the fifth time in our history, and second since 2000, that a candidate has assumed the presidency while losing the popular vote.

1. Do you think the Electoral College is a fair way to decide the presidential election? Why or why not? Think back to the Founder Fathers and what their argument was for creating such a system. If you said it isn't fair, what would be a better system?

2. The media was largely wrong in predicting the outcome of this election. Although the popular vote total was largely within the margin of error of most predictions, the in-state totals (particularly in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Penn.) were wildly wrong. Why do you think that happened? How can the media address this going forward?
