What is a major criticism of the Electoral College?

The electoral college is a winner-takes-all system.

Explanation:

So even if the ratio of the candidates is 49:51, the candidate with the higher ratio of votes would take all the electoral votes for that particular state. This means that the votes of the people who voted for the candidate whose ratio of the votes is 49% would not affect the outcome of the race.

a u.s. citizen has to have lived in and been an american citizen for a year or more be for he or she can vote for presidential or country wide elections. they also have to register to vote. if the voting is for state representatives or issues, they have to have lived in that state for one month or more and meet the requirements for country wide elections.
