eae014ab0f06	69ADC83F4BBE	If us citizens that are voting like the president, then chances are, we're going too vote for him or her. Not only are we going too vote for him or her, were also going to tell our friends too vote for them also so the president can get the most likes and get elected. With the Electoral College, the votes have to go through a process and then the election goes from there.	Evidence	Ineffective

5b0388c11c0e	69ADC83F4BBE	. People think that once a new president gets elected that, things around the world are going too change. Yet, when things dont change, they all say "well, I only her/him for them because he/she looked as if he/she could change things." Just because he/she LOOKS like they could change something, doesn't mean its going too happen. That's where the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" comes in.	Evidence	Ineffective
801e35955bc8	69ADC83F4BBE	I've heard many people say "I voted for such and such as president because he/she looks best." In an election for president, looks do not matter what so ever.	Claim	Ineffective
1221bc53cb4e	69ADC83F4BBE	The president could be handsome or gorgeous and be the worst president in the United States and/or the president could be ugly and be the best president. In a president election, no one is going too care about the looks of the president. We're going too care about the person being voted for president, outlook on things as being the president. A lot comes with being a president and the looks surely aren't one of the things. In my personal opinion, if you're voting for the looks, then maybe you shouldnt be voting at all.	Evidence	Ineffective
e6587af4609b	69ADC83F4BBE	There's many reasons on why we shouldnt change too the most popular vote election and why we should just stay with the Electoral College. The most popular vote election would not be the smartest idea of voting for president and honestly, in my opinion, I feel as if the Electoral College is best. Who would want a president being president because they got the most votes for being liked, voted because their the right president, or voted because they look the best? Truth be told, that's probably the worst thing too change too. With that being said, lets stick too the Electoral College.	Concluding Statement	Ineffective

ba9f1c247563	69D18D73D53A	Technology is everywhere these days. In our pockets, on our tables and counters, everywhere we turn. You're using technology right now, as you read this. One of the most important types of technology we have is our cell phones. Everyone from 10-year-olds to 100-year-olds have them. To some people, it's just to connect with friends, to others, it's what their whole career depends on it. Either way, cell phones are a key element in today's society. Teenagers, out of everyone, are typically the age group that most depends on their cell phones. Whether it's just for talking to friends, communicating with their boss, or speaking with their family, there's no denying it. Teenagers love their cell phones.	Lead	Effective

With cell phones, they would be able to contact their families and emergency medical services.	Evidence	Effective

If the students don't have cell phones, the administration of the school has to coordinate plans and arrange for a student to have a ride home. With everything else the administration has to do, this seems like a foolish way of doing things.

e8059c386fd3	6A088E8BBE02	In the electoral college voters aren't essentially voting for a president but they are voting for a group of electors who will then elect a president. The electors can be picked in many different ways. Sometimes they are they are picked at state conventions, they can be picked at state party's central committe, or sometimes the presidental canidate picks them themselves according to Bradford Plumer (source 2).	Evidence	Effective

96007b5deb08	6A088E8BBE02	If there was a tie in the election, the election would be given to the House of Representatives. In that election, each state has only one vote. So a state with a bigger population has the same say than a state with a smaller population. According to Plumer, because many voters vote one party for president and another party for Congress, the House's selection will not entirely reflect the will of the people. A tie in the electoral college is possible beacause the amount of electoral votes is 538 which is an even number (source 3).	Evidence	Effective
d74ffc238b08	6A088E8BBE02	The electoral college is also unfair to voters because of the winner-takes-all system.	Claim	Adequate
1a401f1a507d	6A088E8BBE02	The winner-takes-all system awards all the electors to the winning presidential canidate (source 1). According to Plumer because of the winner-takes-all system canidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning (source 2).	Evidence	Adequate
936ed1a49ce9	6A088E8BBE02	Counterclains suggest that because the election depends on the vote of swing states, voters there are more thoughtful and should be the ones to decide how the election goes (Richard A. Posner, source 3).	Counterclaim	Effective
415c59f06223	6A088E8BBE02	The comment that voters in swing states are more thoughtful is vague (not all voters in swing states have to be media literic), and it is unfair to other states if only the swing states are important to the canidates. Other states will not get enough and fair information about the presidental canidates.	Rebuttal	Adequate
5fa5a0425e50	6A088E8BBE02	In total, the electoral college is an unfair way to choose our presidents. The method has a lot of bias and doesn't give a fair voice to all the states and its voters. The method has a lot of flaws and is a non-democratic way to elect our presidents.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

The president could be handsome or gorgeous and be the worst president in the United States and/or the president could be ugly and be the best president. In a president election, no one is going too care about the looks of the president. We're going too care about the person being voted for president, outlook on things as being the president. A lot comes with being a president and the looks surely aren't one of the things. In my personal opinion, if you're voting for the looks, then maybe you shouldnt be voting at all.

The most popular vote election would not be the smartest idea of voting for president and honestly, in my opinion, I feel as if the Electoral College is best. Who would want a president being president because they got the most votes for being liked, voted because their the right president, or voted because they look the best? Truth be told, that's probably the worst thing too change too. With that being said, lets stick too the Electoral College.

Technology is everywhere these days. In our pockets, on our tables and counters, everywhere we turn. You're using technology right now, as you read this. One of the most important types of technology we have is our cell phones. Everyone from 10-year-olds to 100-year-olds have them. To some people, it's just to connect with friends, to others, it's what their whole career depends on it. Either way, cell phones are a key element in today's society. Teenagers, out of everyone, are typically the age group that most depends on their cell phones. Whether it's just for talking to friends, communicating with their boss, or speaking with their family, there's no denying it. Teenagers love their cell phones.

If there was a tie in the election, the election would be given to the House of Representatives. In that election, each state has only one vote. So a state with a bigger population has the same say than a state with a smaller population. According to Plumer, because many voters vote one party for president and another party for Congress, the House's selection will not entirely reflect the will of the people. A tie in the electoral college is possible beacause the amount of electoral votes is 538 which is an even number (source 3).

Some states don't even vote anymore because they know that there vote has no effect
