Explanation:

The American Electoral Process is an article written by Mike Kubic, a former correspondent of Newsweek, which describes the history and function of the United States Electoral College. In the article, the writer tried to explains the pros and cons of United States of America Electoral process. Hence, the central idea of the article is that, though the American Electoral College system has its effectiveness, it is so what flawed with excessive complex such as inequality of votes among voters, as the votes of congressmen determines presidency rather than the normal citizens.

Another is the issue of two senators representing each state, regardless of how bigger the population, thus, giving the smaller state advantage.
