Discuss inconsistencies and provide some possible examples to explain the potential effects these could have on electoral outcomes, of who is deemed winner, and ultimately achieving democratic representation of the appropriate people (constituents) who will be electorally linked and impacted by the winner of a political office.
Research and resources should be incorporated with scholarly application. I.e. used as examples or evidence to support your analysis. Incorporate the information you gathered by using it to provide examples and support for your response to the prompt. Your analysis and essay must be at least 2 pages, in length.
