Question

, Which is a true statement about the Electoral College? Item 1 (1 point) Item 2 Electors are encouraged to vote for whichever candidate they prefer. Item 3 If no candidate receives majority vote in the Electoral College, the president is chosen by the Senate and the Supreme Court. Item 4 The Constitution leaves it up to each state's legislature to make the laws on how that state's electors are chosen. The Electoral College gives Congress more control over the president.

Answer 1

The true statement about the Electoral College is:

Item 4: The Constitution leaves it up to each state's legislature to make the laws on how that state's electors are chosen.

The other statements are inaccurate: electors are generally expected to vote for the candidate that wins the popular vote in their state (Item 2 is misleading), if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the president is chosen by the House of Representatives, not the Senate or the Supreme Court (Item 3 is incorrect), and the Electoral College does not give Congress more control over the president (Item 1 is misleading).
