Answer:

In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress. Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes. The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.A popular argument on conservative websites and talk radio is that without the Electoral College, candidates would spend all their time campaigning in big cities and would ignore low-population areas.Electoral College will often defend the system by citing its original purpose: to provide a check on the public in case they make a poor choice for president.

pychu [463]

Answer: self interest

As the old coach was climbing the hill, Mr. Lincoln said “Driver, can’t you stop just a moment?” Mr. Lincoln then jumped out, ran back and then lifted the little pigs out of the mud they were in and placed them on the bank. His companion remarked when he returned that "where does selfishness come in what he just did?

Mr Lincoln said that "he whould have had no peace of mind if he had left that the suffering old sow to be worried about her pigs and helping her was because he wanted peace of mind which was selfishness.
