Answer 1

The counterclaim that best refutes the claim that "The Electoral College guarantees that the selection of the president involves all parts of the United States" is:

**The Electoral College allows a handful of swing states to decide the outcome of the presidential election.**

This statement directly challenges the idea that the Electoral College ensures broad representation across all parts of the country, suggesting instead that only a few states significantly influence the election results.
