If people are starting to pay more attention to the campaign and what is happening around the country then that is a good thing to keep the Electoral College. People start to care about who governs and who tries to make this country better. They all go out and vote for who they think it is best, even if the person that they wanted to win, didnt. This system makes citizens feel like their voices matter and it can make a difference.	Evidence	Adequate

2cacb6b72cfd	708AB9D67FAC	It is important to keep it because voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election (Sourse 3, Paragraph 23). The people that think their political ideas are more imporant than votes, should the person to govern a country. They think about the good things and if their ideas are good enough, they should win.

359e67ae4813	70B6F3CF220A	Most people dont really understand what the Electoral College is, or what it is about, so let me just inform you about it a little. The Electoral College is a process that was established in the constitution and it is a strategy that we use to elect out presidents. The citizens vote for the president, but so the the electors in the Electoral College. There are over five hundred members of the Electoral College, and if a canadate wants to win presidency, he/she has to gain 270 of the Electoral College's votes. Each person running has a set of their own electors	Evidence	Effective
c9920d3bcadc	70B6F3CF220A	Many people believe that this should not be used as a way to elect a president because in the past, the Electoral Collage made Gore loose the presidental election because although he had more popular votes than Goerge Bush, he has less electoral votes.	Claim	Effective

Most people lost repect for the Electoral College after what happened with Bush and Gore, but many people think that it is old and outdated, and that it doesn't really make any snese to use it and that it is irrational. I'm not saying that just because a lot of people don't like something, that we should change it, I'm just explaining that if only fourty percent of the nation agrees with something, then maybe the majority should win!

6dcf91e414aa	70E008E55102	According to the passage"What is the Electoral College" by the Office of the Federal Register, the Electoral college is a process, not a place. This means that it is not in a certain place it is all over the United States.

af341ab8db2b	70E008E55102	According to the passage" The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" by Bradford Plumer he states that under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president. As a result I feel that this isnt much of an issue for us citizens because if you make the right choice then they will vote for your president. So if you think about it there really isnt much of an issue because your president will still have your vote. The Electoral College is widely regarded as a non-democartic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner.	Evidence	Adequate
69b9119bcc99	70E008E55102	Proceeding further, the Electoral College is based of the electors you pick and then they decide of who becomes president by the popular vote.

ca7c095c1c39	70E008E55102	In conclusion, the electoral college is about voting for electors and then they become president if enough popular votes are met.

1996e3823da6	712A59B74C91	To begin with, the Electoral vote has a job to do.

"Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign" (Source 3, Paragraph 20). If people are starting to pay more attention to the campaign and what is happening around the country then that is a good thing to keep the Electoral College. People start to care about who governs and who tries to make this country better. They all go out and vote for who they think it is best, even if the person that they wanted to win, didnt. This system makes citizens feel like their voices matter and it can make a difference.

It is important to keep it because voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election (Sourse 3, Paragraph 23). The people that think their political ideas are more imporant than votes, should the person to govern a country. They think about the good things and if their ideas are good enough, they should win.

Most people dont really understand what the Electoral College is, or what it is about, so let me just inform you about it a little. The Electoral College is a process that was established in the constitution and it is a strategy that we use to elect out presidents. The citizens vote for the president, but so the the electors in the Electoral College. There are over five hundred members of the Electoral College, and if a canadate wants to win presidency, he/she has to gain 270 of the Electoral College's votes. Each person running has a set of their own electors

According to the passage" The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" by Bradford Plumer he states that under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president. As a result I feel that this isnt much of an issue for us citizens because if you make the right choice then they will vote for your president. So if you think about it there really isnt much of an issue because your president will still have your vote. The Electoral College is widely regarded as a non-democartic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner.

Proceeding further, the Electoral College is based of the electors you pick and then they decide of who becomes president by the popular vote.
