988ea3a96cf4	669C59404DC1	We, as the people of the United States of America, have always had the right to freedom (freedom of speech, religion, ect.)- so why don't we have the freedom to directly choose our president?	Claim	Effective

3e9b927b7542	669C59404DC1	In the eleventh paragraph, in 'Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral Coolege: Why even the best-laid defences of the system are wrong', under 'What's wrong with the electoral college', its speaks of a "disaster factor". The "disaster factor" is when we vote for electors and they defy the will of the people; as this had almost happened with segregationists, nearly making the popular vote for Kennedy not go to Kennedy. As well as the fact that we could easily of had a tie in the electoral vote. As it says in the second source, the matter would fall into the hands of the House of Representatives "...the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president." This means each state has one vote, meaning the will of the people wouldn't have much say in the election.	Evidence	Adequate
1df3516e7d84	669C59404DC1	People in a state all have the same electors, made by a popular vote, practically taking away the people's voice. If things were to change to popular vote we would all have a say in each election.	Claim	Adequate
154d20bf3201	669C59404DC1	In the Electoral College way of voting, it is "...unfair to voters. Because of the winner-takes-all system in each state." Along with the fact that in the Electoral College way, the amount of electors is based on population, making the people of a small state insignifigant. "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the canidates at all..." If all small states stay this way, they may never be able to have a say in any big decision made by the public.	Evidence	Adequate
170fd2c582fd	669C59404DC1	In conclusion, we, as the people of the United States of America, need to inderstand that the road we are headed down with the Electoral College, is not a good road. We need to stand up and allow everyone to be able to have a say in elections. With the popular vote every citizen will have they're own say in what gets made of our beautiful country. We, the people, need to make the change from Electoral College voting to popular vote becauseit gives people a say in who runs our country, an eaier way to elect someone into office, and no one state has more of a say than another.

The Electoral College has about 538 electors a majority of 270 are electoral votes is required to elect the President by which your state entitled allotment of electors equals the numer of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.

796b102a1021	671D0569C835	In conclusion, the Electoral College and its electors must be disbanded so that popular vote will be used in determining the new president of the United States. According to both Source 2 and 3, the process of voting a group of people to vote for you is un-democratic. Electors, the people making up th Electoral College, can be manipulated and coerced into voting a specific candidate. Lastly, non-swing states will be ignored; this will anger and frustrate them since not one candidate tried to persuade them. Florida State Senator, you must, in the best of your ability and then some, try to topple down the un-democratic roots of the Electoral College. The people, the ones who must truly decide on the president, will be immensely greatful towards you; in a 2000 poll, 60% of the voters even stated that they want a popular-vote type of election.

In the eleventh paragraph, in 'Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral Coolege: Why even the best-laid defences of the system are wrong', under 'What's wrong with the electoral college', its speaks of a "disaster factor". The "disaster factor" is when we vote for electors and they defy the will of the people; as this had almost happened with segregationists, nearly making the popular vote for Kennedy not go to Kennedy. As well as the fact that we could easily of had a tie in the electoral vote. As it says in the second source, the matter would fall into the hands of the House of Representatives "...the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president." This means each state has one vote, meaning the will of the people wouldn't have much say in the election.

People in a state all have the same electors, made by a popular vote, practically taking away the people's voice. If things were to change to popular vote we would all have a say in each election.

In the Electoral College way of voting, it is "...unfair to voters. Because of the winner-takes-all system in each state." Along with the fact that in the Electoral College way, the amount of electors is based on population, making the people of a small state insignifigant. "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the canidates at all..." If all small states stay this way, they may never be able to have a say in any big decision made by the public.

In conclusion, we, as the people of the United States of America, need to inderstand that the road we are headed down with the Electoral College, is not a good road. We need to stand up and allow everyone to be able to have a say in elections. With the popular vote every citizen will have they're own say in what gets made of our beautiful country. We, the people, need to make the change from Electoral College voting to popular vote becauseit gives people a say in who runs our country, an eaier way to elect someone into office, and no one state has more of a say than another.

The Electoral College has about 538 electors a majority of 270 are electoral votes is required to elect the President by which your state entitled allotment of electors equals the numer of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.

Lastly, non-swing states will be ignored; this will anger and frustrate them since not one candidate tried to persuade them. Florida State Senator, you must, in the best of your ability and then some, try to topple down the un-democratic roots of the Electoral College.
