regulating those who get elected into office. For example, Bush was
elected in 2000 due to the Electoral College vote, even though Gore
won the popular vote. People woke up after the election the next
morning and saw Bush in office rather than the person who they
thought was the victor. This is why the Electoral College needs to be
by one College vote, leaving the state’s two senators to vote as they
normally would and represent the popular vote of the entire state, with
each vote from the Electoral College going to the candidate who won
it, rather than all of them going to who the state chooses overall.
However, people can argue that the election process should not be

First, one might say that the Electoral College system has been
working for so long, so there’s no reason to change it. For example, the
Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, and New Jersey “have adopted popular vote
isn’t happy with the way we elect people into office and the need for
change has arisen. With the popular vote being used as the
centerpiece for the Electoral College, all the voices of Americans can
be heard when they decide who should be their leader. With the way
the Electoral College is set up now, all the candidates have to do is win
the states that are worth more electoral votes, so it doesn’t really
matter who gets more total votes, which is already a reason why it
should change. The new way will give the candidate’s completely fair
chances in each state, with both getting College votes if they earned
could be the best leader for them. For example, Donald Wittman’s
voters during elections become split into the uninformed who vote
because it all comes down to the person with the most Electoral
College votes winning. So, voters thus have a reason not to care about
their votes since the college can seemingly (or actually) drown out
voters’ voices. If the newly proposed system is put into effect and the
result will be more efficient. The popular vote is counted for one
College vote in each district, then the senators themselves vote, fairly
when they believe their vote counts. Also, the battleground states will
become a thing of the past due to every College vote being decided
either way rather than all to one side. As another result, the less
populated, often ignored states will see more action and more new
voices that were once on the sidelines will rise up. No state will be
ignored like they would have been in the past because each district’s

In addition, people argue that voters will vote for the wrong reasons
History class discussion, argued how people are voting for Obama just
on the issues. She said that many voters choose Obama for the fact
vote for the wrong reason. However, the same thing can be said about
McCain for voters who are opposed to Obama, so her argument doesn’t
really hold together. It is said that the Electoral College weeds out
system. However, it also drowns out the cries for change presented by
those who do vote for the right reasons. Also, the college’s bias exists

will be destroyed since every last College vote would be up for grabs.
