Question

Imagine you are on a committee studying whether or not to make changes to the electoral college system. What would you recommend? In a well written paragraph explain your position with at least three reasons.

Answer 1

Absolutely, without a single doubt in my mind, I would change the electoral college system; by completely eradicating it. I'm 18 years old, and I've lived through three elections in my short lifetime. Three elections in which a presidential candidate has won the popular vote; the vote of the people by he will of the people. Two elections in which a presidential candidate has lost the popular vote, and been elected president. The electoral college can oppose the will of the people and elect a president by its own will, which is unethical. Especially unethical in a country that puts such an enormous spoken value on the freedom to vote and create change. When in the reality of the United States the freedom to vote is merely the freedom to go to a ballot box and express an opinion that MAY or MAY NOT make a difference in the vote of the electoral college voters
