Does the Electoral College still make sense for today's election? Why or why not?

Social Studies

Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The true false question is false. A candidate can have fewer votes than his opponent and still be elected President of the United States. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe John Kennedy was one example. I believe that Trump is another.

The Electoral College was a good idea when the States were first deciding the President because communication was very poor and it made sense to have a body that represented the individual states.

I don't think it is a particularly good idea now. The winner of an election (without getting into the mail in Ballads problem) should be half the votes plus 1.  We have good enough communications that elections can be determined just by counting all the votes cast. The Electoral College puts too much emphasis on places like Texas Florida New York and California. The rust belt becomes important because the most populous states are split.

Popular vote should decide.

Write 8 sentences about how we can reduce pollution and wildfires.
jekas [21]

Answer:

We can help reduce pollution by reuseing things that we can and by recycleing those that we can't.  We can also help by picking up trash that we see around us and throwing it away.  It will also help to use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever possible.  On the other hand we can also help reduce wildfires by extinguishing cigarettes properly.  Don't throw cigarette ends on the ground or out of car windows.  Only use barbeques in suitable and safe area, never leave them unattended.  and last never leave fires unattended and make sure they are fully extinguished after.  We can help make this world a more safer place to live with just these and other easy, simple steps.
