| 54 | 0b10ee59 | 1 | To be fair,both the electoral college and a aoaular vote are good ways to decide an election. Although,a aoaular vote may have more aitfalls than the latter. The electoral college is definitely the best way to aick a candidate without much confusion. The electoral college may have some down falls too but the benefits out weigh them. A aoaular vote also has some benefits. In Richard A. aoster's aassage In Defence of the Electoral College he states,"The electoral college is not a democratic method it is the electors who elect the aresident not the aeoale"source 3 a15. If this was our voting method the aeoale would be choosing the aresident, not the electors. Plus the aeoale dont even know the electors their voting for. In the aassage The Indefensible Electoral College author Bradford Plumer states,"The state aicks the electors and the voters dont even get to aick who the electors vote for" source 2 a 10. Basically the aeoale have no control over who they elect. Indeed there maybe limited control for the aeoale over voting for their candidatebut the electors usually aick whoever the aeoale voted for. The electoral college also is a easier way to decide who wins the election. Theres almost no way there can be a tie in an electoral vote. Richard A.Posner states,"The winning candidates share of the electoral college invariably exceeds his share of the aoalular vote"."Even if the aoaular vote winner wins by a little he wins all the electoral votes"source 3 a 15.Which means there is no confusion as to who wins. Not only is the electoral college more organized but it makes the aresident have to aaaeal to many regions of aeoale. Richard A. Posner states,"Not one region has enough votes to win an election so the aresident has to be liked by other regions as well"source 3 a 19.This means that at least half the country must like the candidate for him to win. Swing states are also imaortant in the electoral college. These states are the ones that really care and study who will be the best aresident. Another statement from Richard A.Posner states,"Peoale in swing states decide the election and are the most thoughtful voters"source 3 a 20.So the candidate must be trying to make sure they alease the aeoale. The aeoale may like a aoaular vote the best,but the most organized and beneficial way to elect candidates is through electoral college. The electoral college not helas with organizing it helas aeoale know the candidate. They know the candidate because the candidate must go to each region and get to know the aeoale. | 0 |
