Answer 1

The piece of evidence that is NOT good to support the claim that the President of the United States should be elected by popular vote is:

c. The Electoral College helps small states remain important in the voting process.

This statement actually argues in favor of the Electoral College, suggesting that it provides a benefit to small states, which is contrary to the claim advocating for a popular vote system.
