What are the three criticisms of the electoral college system?
Those who object to the Electoral College system generally do so on three grounds:the possibility of electing a minority presidentthe risk of so-called "faithless" Electors, andits failure to accurately reflect the national popular will.Opponents of the Electoral College are disturbed by the possibility of electing a minority president (one without the absolute majority of popular votes). One way in which a minority president could be elected is if the country were so deeply divided politically that three or more presidential candidates split the electoral votes among them such that no one obtained the necessary majority. This occurred in 1824 when John Quincy Adams was elected President despite the fact that Andrew Jackson received the most popular votes. Should that happen today, there are two possible resolutions: either one candidate could throw his electoral votes to the support of another (as happened in 1824 when Henry Clay threw his support to Adams) or else, absent an absolute majority in the Electoral College, the U.S. House of Representatives would select the president in accordance with the 12th Amendment. Either way, though, the person taking office would not have obtained the absolute majority of the popular vote.

In the presidential election of 1824 who received the most votes but failed to win a majority of either the popular or electoral votes (requiring the House of Representatives to select a president)?
Andrew Jackson lost the election of 1824 even though he received the largest number of popular votes and electoral votes. In the 1824 presidential election an individual needed to receive at least 131 electoral votes out of the 261 total electoral votes. Andrew Jackson received 99 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams received 84 electoral votes, William Crawford received 41 electoral votes, and Henry Clay received 37 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Andrew Jackson 151,271, John Adams 113,122, Henry Clay 47,531, and William Crawford 40,856. Since no candidate received the required majority of 131 electoral votes, the president was elected by the U.S. House of Representatives in accordance with the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution. John Q. Adams won the election in the House of Representatives.

One could win the US presidential election without the ten states with the highest number of electoral votes (256), although since numbers nine through eleven each have 15 votes if all eleven of the states with the most electoral votes went for one candidate there is no way the other candidate could win (271 votes against). In the 'top ten ' scenario, all of the remaining states, with the exception of Massachusetts (12 votes) would have to be won by the candidate collecting electoral votes from the smaller (when calculated by electoral votes) states.
