Task

The Electoral College System (ECS) is a historical American institution in the Presidential election process. Though it is the means by which the American President is officially elected, it has received its share of criticism and praise.

You are a member of the 2004 Presidential Election System Review Commission. The commission will explore the history of ECS and weigh the pros and cons of having ECS. After analyzing the information thoroughly, the commission will decide whether to keep the current system, to revise it or to devise a new system instead. Finally, the commission will carry out a series of activities to champion its position, primarily a multimedia-supported press conference.
