  • A Are very expensive
  • B Create more seats in the legislature
  • C Make the legislature too responsive
  • D Sometimes negate the wishes of the electorate
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Â
An electoral college is a set of electors who are selected to elect a candidate to a particular office.
One of the major criticism against the electoral college is that, It is “undemocratic;” It permits the election of a candidate who does not win the most votes; and. Its winner-takes-all approach cancels the votes of the losing candidates in each state. This can sometimes be in opposition to the will of the electorates.
