9d956143b94f | C380E7F27492 | that's not the question so wait heres the part when you feel like the biggest chunk again... the question is Does The Electoral College Work? Aha see you thought you won the 4v4 but really it's just getting started. Like how can you win if you don't know anything about the process college well thank godness im here because im gonna educate you goats. According to paragraph 2 "The Electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president,and the counting of the electoral votes by congress". So what i think it's saying is that this is how like our wonderful presidents get elected. this is the voting system that elects vice pres,pres,meeting the to runners and electors thats the electoral college in a nut shell. | Evidence | Ineffective |
abff88b0aafb | C380E7F27492 | So let me tell you why our founding fathers started this in 1769's or something like that but ever since they made this system it's been going on until 2015! | Evidence | Ineffective |
990477453235 | C380E7F27492 | so the answer to that question would be yes it does work because it gives the people a right to choose who they want and the president doesn't get to much power and without this system we wouldn't have any presidents you know what i mean.

ea4ac59424cf | C39C5D9C9ED8 | Now you may be in favor of the Electoral College but sir I'm here to change you mind. Why are so many people in favor of this process maybe because they can guzzle up your money , my money
OUR
money . I say lets go with popular vote not some elector in a monkey suit. We let them have a "winner-take-all" system as stated in paragraph 7 from an excerpt from " What Is The Electoral College ". Why do we need make the District of Columbia like their own state , why should we go threw all the hassel of putting certain numbers of electors for each state when we can just go with popular vote. The vote we have. | Lead | Effective |
72ecd398299e | C39C5D9C9ED8 | Why do we need such an abomination for voting, when we can all vote for the person we want to win the election not, just some group of electors Democratic or Republican so they can vote for us | Position | Adequate |
e080fa0d1472 | C39C5D9C9ED8 | We as the
PEOPLE
should have the right to vote for our selves. It's such a crazy process ,we could just as easly mess up who we voted for , it's not always very clear . | Claim | Adequate |
07c24f53af84 | C39C5D9C9ED8 | WE
dont even really vote for our Electors. "Well who does ? " you ask. The state conventions ,sometimes the state party , sometimes even the presidential candidates themselves. We should be lucky that the 2000 election was the biggest crisis in a century ; but this process could end up getting much worse like in 1960. The segregtions almost led to no more Democratic electors. We still proceed with all evidence as to why we shouldnt have Electoral Colleges. | Evidence | Ineffective |
18ce9098b31c | C39C5D9C9ED8 | We do have democratic electors but the Electoral College is a very non-democratic process. | Claim | Adequate |
523a76c7a347 | C39C5D9C9ED8 | People in favor of this say even since 2000 when Gore had more popular votes than Bush but fewer electoral votes it hadn't since 1888 . We are the the people we should have a voice that rings loud and clear , not one who whispers under the big booming voice of the people the higher leaders think have a bigger say. We should be the majority not the minority. Even in favor of the Electoral college you can see the many flaws that have come about the age old process. You have the swing states that follow a "winner-take-all" method. | Evidence | Adequate |
21afd19221de | C39C5D9C9ED8 | Then we have the big states that use some of their large states. | Claim | Ineffective |
9b5bf4f3774e | C39C5D9C9ED8 | like in Florida the 2012 election the state had a very close popular vote and got 29 electoral voates. Then it came down to Wyoming with 3 electoral votes and it took all. | Evidence | Ineffective |
fb7e8c38522d | C39C5D9C9ED8 | Now I hope you can see why We should toss the Electoral College out the second story window. The vote's come to close to call in a lot of these runnings. The people we vote for can always turn their backs. Plus it just gets to caiotic to handle even when we treat the district of Columbia a state. Even the people with the popular vote get tossed out the window. The Electoral College should be put down , and Replaced with the Popular votes of the Us citizens. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

682e8ba6503a | C3B3A972189C | Driverless cars are in our near futrue. Cars like these need to have protection for everybody. I like the idea of that they are trying to make them, trying to make them smater, and trying to make smater roads for us to drive them on too | Lead | Adequate |

a868f1ce4527 | C3B3A972189C | I think that it would be expensive. Would there be only certin road we could us these types of cars on? The whole idea on have these types of cars amazes me but it would be kinda scary to try something like this out. | Evidence | Adequate |
df059aacaf22 | C3B3A972189C | I like the whole idea on that the car would have to have someone that is checking out for the car but it would be hard for the person to keep the concentration on the road. | Claim | Ineffective |

afc4cf9e7f08 | C3B3A972189C | I also was thinking how hard would these cars be to drive? | Claim | Adequate |
74ee086d9a4a | C3B3A972189C | Would we have to have some special training to drive one? I read in the passage that the car would automactily tell you when it would be time for you to start driving but what if the driver is hispanic or any other race and the car tell them its there turn to drive in english. Would there be settings for that or no | Evidence | Adequate |
237fc6fb4224 | C3B3A972189C | Also what is the whole point on driverless cars I think they would be able to get around in traffic, accidents , and construction sites? | Claim | Ineffective |
1815cc0c48a2 | C3B3A972189C | I think it would also be alot nicer if they could get around that stuff on there own too.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
33a92051c3d9 | C3B3A972189C | Anyway these cars would be nice to have around and all. I would also love to ride in one just to experiece the feeling and listen to the way that they would transfer to the person who is siting in the drivers seat. these cars would be the bomb if they really were driverless and are easy to control. I would love to see what it all comes down to, I really do look forward to it. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
8275389d43f0 | C3C4D847175E | The Electoral College has many amazing things people like about using it .When it comes to voting not many people do | Position | Ineffective |
3d68f12fd9eb | C3C4D847175E | Thats why in the Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. There are about 538 electors, now that's alot of people if you ask me. Only 270 of the electoral votes is required to elect the President which is an okay amount of votes for the President election.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
d7581de64110 | C3C4D847175E | On the other hand, under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who inturn elect the president. The single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. The American people should consider themeselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century, but the system allows much worse. People are more worried about having a tie in the electoral vote. The election would be thrown in the House of Representatives, where state delegation vote on the President, also the senate would choose the Vice President. | Evidence | Ineffective |
adb1a7175f16 | C3C4D847175E | Not everyone thinks the same tho about electoral College because some people dont like it because some states have more representatives,but yet again what if it was your state that have the most representatives like Califorina with 55 of them wouldnt you want a huge avantage like that? I know I would. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
c4c84dc63799 | C3D4F36886E5 | I dont think there will ever be a 100% driverless car i think there will alway be a person with some what controll or should be at all time even in a car that has all the most advanced driverless tecnlogty. i think the need for a humman is needed at all times becaus that tecnlogy wiil fail and if ther is one driverless car on a highway and the human is not in controll and if it was to mess up it could kill a lot of inacent people. but my personal opion is if there are a few driverless cars cool use them at spechel event like the daytona 500,award ceremoneys, in honering someone and things like that..... i think i would be a bad idea to make them avalible to the public for many reasons some being when they mess up how many people will get hurt and when theyn sell them only rich people will be able to afford them because the tecnlogy will be so advanced and cost so munch and the incerence will cost a fortune and when they fail and if they are able to fix them who and how munch will it cost to fix. if people are to lazy to drive them selves then we have a problem | Evidence | Ineffective |
7952cf867ebc | C3D4F36886E5 | yeah ot would be cool to have a couple driverless cars in the country but not to make multipule | Position | Adequate |

dd14b82b3180 | C4008B4496ED | In 1976, the Viking 1 set course to mars. When the Viking 1 was orbiting mars, the Mars Global Surveyor took a photo of a strange figure. It looked like a shadowy human face. The question everyone is asking is who are what made this? Was it aliens or is it just natural. | Lead | Adequate |
112bb08d2866 | C4008B4496ED | If you ask me, this strange looking thing is just a natural landform. | Position | Adequate |
e1ee47d71d85 | C4008B4496ED | My first reason is that only a few of my friends from NASA believe that this strange landform was really made by aliens. | Claim | Ineffective |
e031cde9eae9 | C4008B4496ED | I also think that this is just a landform because the photo that we took was not very clear and that could have made the landform look like a face. | Claim | Adequate |
c68f36dd4d58 | C4008B4496ED | I also think that this is just a land form because the time of year that we took the one of the photos. When we took the photo in 1998, we took the photo during the winter on Mars and it made Mars sort of cloudy and the Mars Global Surveyer had to peer through the wispy clouds to see the strange landform | Evidence | Adequate |
364e3a04a33b | C4008B4496ED | Some of my friends from NASA were saying that some of the so called "alien markings" were hidden | Claim | Adequate |
11399b5e4ef1 | C4008B4496ED | My final reason for thinking that this is just a landform is that when we took the thre pictures and compared them, they all looked different from each other. | Claim | Adequate |
87cb678fd63c | C4008B4496ED | The picture we took in 1976 looked like the face the most out of the three pictures. The picture we took in 1998 did not have the same details of the first picture and it did not look like a face. The picture we took in 2001 did not have the facial features of the first photo either. | Evidence | Adequate |
caf1670bd6f5 | C4008B4496ED | In conclusion, I think this is just a landform because only a few of my friends believed that it was done by aliens, the photo we took in 1998 was different due to some of the factors of weather, and all three photos looked different from one another. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
eeba3b73f4e3 | C41CDE2FD0F5 | Do voters some times get confused about the electers and vote for the wrong candidate? The single best argument against the electoral is what we might call a disaster facter. We the people should consider ourselves lucky to vote | Lead | Adequate |
65838f015d22 | C41CDE2FD0F5 | The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votesthe winner. | Position | Adequate |
b686367a8788 | C41CDE2FD0F5 | If the advocates of this position is correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense . It is the electers who elect the president, not the people . It is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. yet this has happened very rarely when Gore had more popular votes then Bush . It can be argued that the Electoral college method of selecting the president may turn off selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a canadidate who has no hope of carrying their state . And not having everyone vote mite throw things off too. but of courseno voters vote swings a national election, and in spite of that about one -half the eligible American population did vote in 2012 's election. | Evidence | Ineffective |

f5901b2cbf17 | C42978129AAC | Some adults get really worked up over cell phones. They aren't a bad thing. They are amazingly useful and they are only bad when they are used in class.

c1672b55068c | C42EBA5B3529 | The Electoral college can be greatly described as a pedigree. The Electoral College being around for so long as the time of our founding fathers- quite a long time, now having doubts? "The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anaschornism,". Can't say that anyone shouldn't be surprised just like anything in this life everything comes to an end at some point | Lead | Effective |
93c8f76088fd | C42EBA5B3529 | Agreed that it is unfair something like the Electoral College to be around especially in this era, it craves more rights than it feels it's been restricted from | Position | Adequate |
afaafa901db6 | C42EBA5B3529 | Yes, it has a history that truly lights the room of American development, but already many things from the government have changed, Would it really hurt to change the Electoral College?
| Claim | Adequate |
8ffb94a9146d | C42EBA5B3529 | America has always been about the people? With the Electoral College it's the people's choice with a twist. | Claim | Adequate |
62f8131223a1 | C42EBA5B3529 | "voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors," it would be much simpler if the candidate you voted for would just be elected, and also democratic to choose that way...totally giving your vote to a group of people. Although their hasn't been numerous situations in which the Electoral College vote will dosen't win the national popular vote...It still happened and also a possibility that it can happen again! Why have two different types of votes when you can easily have one vote? "The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population)" the vote is America broken in one whole breaking up the population in each state, which is equivalent to breaking us up in 13 colonies. We should be considered one! | Evidence | Adequate |
4d143d954e17 | C42EBA5B3529 | "The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November." Example that everything is in order and exact, and has not changed just like how over the years we have found that some things that our Founding Fathers did were "wrong" why not put doubt in the electoral vote? | Claim | Adequate |
5c4c83e310ee | C42EBA5B3529 | Yes, also true the electoral vote keeps other parties who are not sufficient enough to run the country | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
32e546ed8c8d | C42EBA5B3529 | but their aren't many voters usually not voting for either a republican or democrat, proof that the electoral vote simply is an anachronism | Rebuttal | Adequate |
f2f23dc74dcd | C42EBA5B3529 | A winner-take-all basis dosen't seem like that big of a deal after all only one person has to be president, but the electoral vote dosen't affect that...at all. Any rebuddle going against a non-electoral voting society dosen't seem to make a valid reason. | Evidence | Adequate |
aa76ff512feb | C42EBA5B3529 | this letter is simply a right this country has given me as a citizen-freedom of speech. My defense is equality, and shouldn't be ignored sometimes a pedrigree like the electoral vote needs to change. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
750a9cf90b0b | C44019DF831B | One big milestone in a person's teenage years is when they have to take a driver's test to get their license. Many people often become stressed behind the wheel during the driver's test because they are afraid of making mistakes. The people of our generation are just as nervous about these test as our older generations but what if that were to change in the future? What if, instead of driving cars where we have to be driving one hundred percent of the time, there were cars out there that allowed the car to do the driving for us? | Lead | Effective |
bdd0cfad3494 | C44019DF831B | Many companies have been working on the idea of "driverless cars" in hopes that they will reshape the whole concept of driving. However, that does not mean they are a good thing. Driverless cars should not be used in the future | Position | Effective |
8f61fbb88957 | C44019DF831B | because they could take away the focus of the driver, | Claim | Adequate |
d4517019ba82 | C44019DF831B | the future generation wouldn't know about driving basics, | Claim | Adequate |
c9577bf55b99 | C44019DF831B | and they are illegal in some states.
| Claim | Adequate |
22d215f995a3 | C44019DF831B | As these driverless cars are being invented, they allow drivers to meerly sit back in the drivers seat and enjoy the road. Sitting for thirty minutes in a car will not be enough to satisfy the boredom of some people. There are people out there who can not deal with sitting in one place for a few minutes and have to do something to keep them busy. Therefore, their focus could easily move to something else other than the road, like a fellow passenger or at the scenery around them. Driverless cars are not entirely driverless. As said in the article, "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." What if the driver is not prepared to take over when the situation requires? These new cars may have features of notifying an individual when they need to take over but if they are not ready because they were focused on something else, then the results could be disastirous. This is why it takes away focus from drivers. | Evidence | Effective |
cff308d450a7 | C44019DF831B | Many teenagers today have to take drivers ed classes as they attempt to obtain a license from the BMV. But what would future generation drivers have to go through for their driving exams if we have driverless cars. As stated before, driverless cars aren't entirely driverless. The newer generations still have to learn to basics of driving even if they will be driving in a driverless car in the future. If this does not happen, then they could be in trouble if their driverless cars malfunction or they are forced to drive a regular car instead. The future generations will probably not know about the driving basics because they will think they are too far advanced for it. For example, not many people know how to drive "stick" or even know what that means even though it was vital for driving long ago. If someone were to enter a car that needed that kind of function, they would not know what to do. And the same thing applies to future generations if they would not know the driving basics. | Evidence | Effective |
bbe4aa6bd1d4 | C44019DF831B | According to the article, "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control ata all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars." With the government concerned about the safety of a driver behind the wheel, they will not allow driverless cars on the roads. The safety of the people is more important than to advancement of technology. Until the driverless cars have been updated to the time where they are safe for everyone, there is no way that driverless cars will be seen on the roads with regular cars for quite some time. This is why driverless vehicles are against the law in some states. | Evidence | Effective |
f7ce95ba5ce7 | C44019DF831B | In conclusion, driverless cars should not be used in the future because they take away the driver's focus, the future generations need to learn about the driving basics that we use today, and it is illegal to use computer-driven cars. Of course, in the future, new technology will arise to give people more mobility and ways of transportation but that will not happen until everyone is safe. Many individuals are in car crashes every year from lack of focus on the road. Driverless cars can add to this problem just like any other and until we have to tools necessary to ensure they safety of the people using driverless cars, there is no way that they will be seen among the streets. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
88671ff0cb4e | C4804C3EEBD7 | I think that we should keep the Electoral College but we could also change election by popular vote | Position | Ineffective |
8b74f76f9e2e | C4804C3EEBD7 | because there could be problems over the outcome of an Electoral College, the reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote. The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. A candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president. Voters in toss-up are more likely to pay close intention to the campaign, knowing that they are going to decide the election. The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the vote cast. It also restores some weight in the political balance. There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast. The Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. | Evidence | Ineffective |
46017f311c6d | C4804C3EEBD7 | Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electoral. Most states have a winner-take-all system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. Your states Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election. Voters can expect close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency. Under the electoral college system, voters don't vote for the president, but for electors, who in turn elect the president. The electors can be anyone not holding public office. The person who picks the electors in the first place depends on the state | Evidence | Adequate |
668d27e80f04 | C4804C3EEBD7 | The argument against the electoral college is what we might call disaster factor. If there is a tie in the electoral vote, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. Because each state casts only one vote. the electoral college is unfair to voters, because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, they only focus on the right races in the swing states. But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote the party's nominee, but it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. The Elecotral college is widely regarded as an person or a thing that seems to belong to the past and not to fit in the present, it's a non- demogratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receive most popular votes the winner. | Evidence | Ineffective |

29be42c9dff3 | C48AEB2F1FC2 | The electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non democratic method of choosing a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner | Claim | Ineffective |
f27c4938fa2a | C48AEB2F1FC2 | The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the electoral college methodis not democratic in a modern sense, it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential candidate, youre actually voting for a slate of electors.
The electoral college consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. Your states entitled alottment of electors equals the number of its congressional delegation: one for each member in the house of representatives plus 2 for each senator. Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidates political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected & what their responsibilities are. | Evidence | Adequate |
68cf99e83ab5 | C48AEB2F1FC2 | The electoral college is good because it resores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in constitution. | Claim | Adequate |
4ce90c418dfb | C48AEB2F1FC2 | The elctoral college also avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast. The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates to focus their campaign efforts on the toss up states. Votes in the toss up states are more likely to pay attention to the campaign- to really listen to the competing candidates- knowing that they are going to decide the election.

3fdc1c1f5f5a | C48AEB2F1FC2 | It can be argued that the electoral college method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no intention or hope of carrying their state | Counterclaim | Adequate |
eb08025b159f | C48AEB2F1FC2 | democrats in texas, for example, or republicans in california. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign thn they would have if the president were picked by popular vote. But of course no voter's vote swings a national election, and in spite of that, about 1/2 the eligible american population did vote in 2012's election. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think a single vote may decide an entire election. | Evidence | Adequate |

In addion, attend classes at home makes children boring to only he or she attend classes in their home. | Evidence | Adequate |

He always get stuck in something,and he didn't know how to figure out. when he ask his mom for help,she replay this is happens per not be in the school. My friend is a smart boy who like study a lot. but he told me that attend classes at home is a bad idea becuase teacher in the school could help him whanever he needs help. in this case at home noneone can give a hand to him. | Evidence | Adequate |
