JA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic

When the assignment was first given to us and we were told that we had to pick a topic that was controversial and one that was in our field of study, I was not worried. Basically every thing in the realm political science is quite controversial, so I had a lot to choose from. I was initially thinking of taking our political system, pointing out one or more aspects, and then comparing it to others. But there are so many areas from which I could choose. The Electoral College System is very important but not may understand it, or even know what it is by name. After narrowing it down to this I feel I can write a more pointed paper.
