Presidential Elections

Critics have argued that the Electoral College creates inequality between voters in different states during the presidential election. Votes cast in swing states have a greater chance of affecting the outcome of an election. As a result, they allege, the vast majority of Americans, who live in non-competitive states, are largely ignored by political campaigns.

Congressional Elections

Critics point out that the division of the country into congressional districts tends to eliminate voter choice, in many cases creating areas in which races are uncontested or uncompetitive. According to The Economist, "if democracy means multi-party competition at the grass roots, America is not a full democracy in elections to the House of Representatives... More than nine in ten Americans live in districts that are, in practice, one-party monopolies." Source.
