the electoral college

I’m studying and need help with a Political Science question to help me learn.

If you had to design an electoral system for the United States for the president, senators, and members of the House, what would it look like? should be about 350 ish words

Your response should consider many (but does not need to address all) of the following questions.

• When would elections be held? Would it be a federal holiday? What would the hours be on Election Day?
• How would votes be counted? Would there be an Electoral College? Why or why not?
• What would be the process for a recount? When would it be conducted? Who would request it?
• Would the rules vary across states or would the federal government regulate the process entirely?
• How long would a term be for each office? Would there be term limits? If so, what would they be?
• Who would be allowed to vote? Who would not be allowed to vote?
• Would people have to register to vote? If so, what would this system look like?
• Would voting be restricted to one day? Would there be early voting?
• Would voters need to show ID at the polls? What forms of ID are acceptable?
• How would district lines for the House be drawn?
• What would the ballot look like? Which candidate/party would be listed first? Would there be straight-ticket voting?
• What would the voting system look like? (e.g. paper and pen, punch card, lever machines, electronic voting, etc.)
• How would candidates be nominated?
• Which candidates would be allowed to be on the general election ballot?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of your proposed system?

In designing this system, what are your goals? What are you trying to maximize? What are you trying to minimize?
