United States cast their vote to decide the next president‚ but most do not realize just how little their vote means. In fact‚ the president is not elected by the people‚ but instead by 538 members of the electoral college. The electoral college should be replaced by a popular vote system because it will allow all votes to be equal‚ cause candidates to focus on more than just swing states‚ and result in a rightful winner that creates a more united country. The electoral college is a complicated system

The topic of my paper is whether we should keep the Olympics or should not keep the Olympics.I think that we should keep the Olympics. I believe we should keep the Olympics because it is a fantastic way for the best athletes in the world to show what they can do. Also‚ it is a good way to keep athletes healthy.

controversial elections in history‚ the 2016 presidential elections between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump marked another year where the popular vote did not coincide with the electoral vote. The fact that Trump won the election even after losing the popular vote by over one million votes‚ brought an already ongoing debate to the forefront: To keep the electoral college or not?

works. We use the electoral college system‚ this means‚ whatever candidate wins in the Electoral College‚ usually wins that state. On the other hand you have the popular vote‚ which means you won the popularity of the people in that State. There are also some tricky states because they could swing‚ either way. With swing states you never know if they will vote Republican or Democratic. I do not feel we should go based off of the electoral vote. If a candidate wins the popular vote that should be just

The electoral college should not be abolished. The electoral college is a very important part of the election process. After all‚ it wasn’t established in Article II for no reason. Our very own founding fathers did not like the idea of the general population directly voting for president. They feared that presidents would always come from highly populated states.

that we are living in a democracy‚ but do we really? For centuries‚ the Electoral College has been selecting our presidents rather than the voters of the United States. The Electoral College was put in place to compromise the congressional and popular votes during a presidential election. What’s the compromise when only the congressional votes count? Voters from each state elect a person to go vote for them‚ but some electors can still vote whichever way they please and there is nothing that we can
