You'll probably have to do some trial and error to determine your search terms. Are you looking at the differences from a political/governmental viewpoint or from a social/cultural one? That might affect your terms. I found some good options just playing around, we'll begin our exploring next week.
For the practice questions, I'll post the suggested answers next week, but for your selections, the electoral college only votes on the presidential election so just electoral college and reform would be adequate. You picked out the relevant tidbits, however, you might find a simpler statement more effective and then you can add on additional terms but you have a good handle on how to simplify and identify the key concepts and use truncation to cover the variations.
Thanks,
Andrea
