Hi Samoi!
That's very fast: june 2019 graduated, jan 2020: all gen ed and 2 majors finished. Great job!
ACE has recommendation for courses by course providers, they do not give credit themselves, they only provide a (trustworthy) indication for the possible credit to be awarded by the institution it's transferred to.
You are looking for 2 political major electives and 1 int politics credit. I assume 3 semester credits each?
First you need to check w/ the college what their transfer policy is: ACE ok, NCCRS ok? Maybe you can share the name of the institution.
Next you can find suitable courses at the providers, see: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sources_of_Credit
Before proceeding, be sure to check a certain course will be accepted and fulfill the required spots.
You can look up the actual ACE database here: https://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=transcriptsPublic.getCourseSearchCriteria You might need that to convince the institution, and have them provide the course it will be equivalent.

The ACE database is the ultimate source, but keep in mind that you need to check for valid date ranges for any provider/course (ig: things expire, providers go out of business, etc).  Also confirm that your school accepts ACE from the provider that you have in mind. Not all schools take all ACE sources (not even the Big3 take everything from all providers)

What school is your daughter going to? That is super important because all schools have different policies regarding Ace etc.
