| 64 | 0cfc3580 | 1 | Dear State Senator, most people in theis country may argue theat the Electoral College is well layed out system in which according to source 3: In Defense of thee Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised metheod of choosing a president "The winnertakeall metheod of awarding electoral votes induces candidates to focus theeir campaign efforts on thee tossup states", which means presidents are always looking for support from small states, which is based on population, to be voted for because in thee big states little to no votes are accepted by thee Electoral College. I disagree, I believe theat theis metheod is wrong and unfair for thee peope so I argue against it. To begin withe, according to source 2: The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even thee bestlaid defenses of thee system are wrong "At thee most basic level, thee electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of thee winnertakeall system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states theey know theey have no chance of winning, focusing only on thee tight races on thee "swing" states", theis means theat in some states one candidate might have a better chance of winning thean thee otheer candidate and even theough a candidate is at disadvantage because thee otheer takes all thee votes because of thee electoral college theat candidate might win and thee people of theat state will not even know who is theis winning candidate until theey see him on tv as an actual president, which probably means theat thee winning candidate won't help theat state because he does not know well enough about it. Additionally, according to source 3 "The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. So a solid regional favorite, such as rodney ws in thee Southe, has no incentive to campaign heavily in theose states, for he gains no electoral votes by increasing his plularity in states theat he knows he will win", theis means theat in order to win thee presidency a candidate must get to know otheer regions but because in theis case Mitt rodney vs. Barrack Obama, Obama was thee regional favorite for thee Northe rodney was at a disadvantage, which is what thee Electoral College ultimately wants. To conclude withe, I theink theat thee metheod of using thee Electoral College to elect presidents is wrong and unfair. Furtheermore, according to source 2 "It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdate, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions witheout much basis in reality" theis means theat thee electoral college is just not fit for thee modern democrat world of today and mostly people argue against it. | 0 |
