1f6df629e365	6C3E863C67FC	If there is a tie in the in the electoral vote "the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives" (paragraph 12). This is an unfair method also becasue now there's only one vote per state and some states have a higher population than others which can and will cause contreversy in the public. "The pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, may be redcued" (patagraph 22) but it still doesn't reduced the fact that swing voters can cause catastrophe within the electoral voting process.

4052c7f866e4	6C3E863C67FC	All in all, the Electoral college has both its good things and their downfalls. As can be seen the bad out ways the good in this situation. A voters vote isn't necessarily direct because they aren't voting on a single representative, they are voting on a group of individuals in which they believe will vote for the candidate in which they choose. Also, being that the number of electors is based on a state's number of congressional represenatives it is an unequal and unfair number of electors per state. The electoral college can even cause an uproar if a tie ever falls in place because the "tie breaker" is left in the hands of the House of Representatives. Basically "the electoral colleg is unfair, and irrational" (paragraph 14) and it should be abolished because there is a great amount of mix ups and failures within the system itself.

a8239c81b234	6CA3EC0D0FC8	For a driverless car to be a good idea and be suitable for everybody, it needs to be completely safe for everybody. In the article, the author tells us that most driving laws focus on keeping the drivers, the passengers, and the pedestrians safe. We all know that safety is the most important way, but what is the best way to keep the drivers, the passengers, and the pedestrians safe? The author tells us that lawmakers already know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers. How are the drivers going be alert when they are in a drivetless car. What if there is a system malfunction? What if the driver falls asleep while the car is driving itself? The outcomes don't look good.	Evidence	Adequate

The drivers would not be completely alert if they were in a driveless car. In addition, the production and the cost to buy driverless cars would be high. This would cause problems for the manufacturers and the buyers. Finally, even if there was to be a driverless car, it would not be completeyly driverless and unfortunately, it would not be completely safe.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

b33d4a885b1c	6D70F7B79D16	The american people consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for mech worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. Back in 1960 segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new elecotrs who would oppose John F. Kennedy. ''So that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy.'' In the same vein, faithless electors have occasionally refused tovote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please. Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. The Senate would choose the vice-president. Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters,would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters. Given that many voters vote one party for preident and another party for Congress, the House's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people.	Evidence	Adequate

If there is a tie in the in the electoral vote "the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives" (paragraph 12). This is an unfair method also becasue now there's only one vote per state and some states have a higher population than others which can and will cause contreversy in the public. "The pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, may be redcued" (patagraph 22) but it still doesn't reduced the fact that swing voters can cause catastrophe within the electoral voting process.

All in all, the Electoral college has both its good things and their downfalls. As can be seen the bad out ways the good in this situation. A voters vote isn't necessarily direct because they aren't voting on a single representative, they are voting on a group of individuals in which they believe will vote for the candidate in which they choose. Also, being that the number of electors is based on a state's number of congressional represenatives it is an unequal and unfair number of electors per state. The electoral college can even cause an uproar if a tie ever falls in place because the "tie breaker" is left in the hands of the House of Representatives. Basically "the electoral colleg is unfair, and irrational" (paragraph 14) and it should be abolished because there is a great amount of mix ups and failures within the system itself.

For a driverless car to be a good idea and be suitable for everybody, it needs to be completely safe for everybody. In the article, the author tells us that most driving laws focus on keeping the drivers, the passengers, and the pedestrians safe. We all know that safety is the most important way, but what is the best way to keep the drivers, the passengers, and the pedestrians safe? The author tells us that lawmakers already know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers. How are the drivers going be alert when they are in a drivetless car. What if there is a system malfunction? What if the driver falls asleep while the car is driving itself? The outcomes don't look good.

The american people consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for mech worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. Back in 1960 segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new elecotrs who would oppose John F. Kennedy. ''So that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy.'' In the same vein, faithless electors have occasionally refused tovote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please. Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. The Senate would choose the vice-president. Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters,would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters. Given that many voters vote one party for preident and another party for Congress, the House's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people.
