Do We Still Need the Electoral College?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

One of the most confusing aspects of any presidential election year is the role of the Electoral College. Learners read a bit about how the Electoral College works and then they hold a mock election in their classroom. They'll redraw a map of the United States to represent what each state would look like in relation to the Electoral College then compare and contrast the democratic process around the world.
